Modified Lynxmotion HQuad 500 project

Here’s my build of the drone kit with some add ons I came up with. Its a great kit for making a drone that is unique.

Very cool. Is it difficult to control? It seems a little twitchy…

Thanks! With all the added gear it doesn’t handle as agile as most drones, but it flys well. Not sure what you meant by “twitchy” but I was trying to get the drone as close to the camera as I safely could and I’m still getting used to flying it. Just a case of over correcting due to pilot’s nerves.:slight_smile:

Hey @rschlenk! Nice “toy” :smiley:

Do you have any videos that drone has recorded?

No, not just yet. One of the landing gear blew out and I’m waiting for a replacement. After that, I’ll probably post something. I installed a HD camera on it.

Looking forward to see it :slight_smile:

Where did you purchase the landing gear or is a diy system

Amazon, here you go:

Looks like you had to use additional clamps, 25mm carbon fiber tubing and rubber end caps. Very nice result.

You are correct. Thanks for the compliment.
