BigFoot 9.4" R2 quadcopter frame (phantom edition)

BigFoot 9.4" R2 (phantom edition)

https://rotorbuilds.com/build/23274

Huge, 9.4" quadcopter frame based on TBS SourceOne and typical racer quadcopter parts.

It uses DJI Phantom II motors/propellers because of it popularity and price. I have never expected DJI 2312 motor designed fo 4s will handle 5s or even more voltage. Tune PIDs, make sure motors will not become hot becouse of vibrations or bad FC tuning and it will work fine with a heavy load.

Pictures taken for prototype arms, current design has been improved and optimized for non-support printing. I expect I will improve it in the future.

FRAME and PRINTED PARTS

Bottom, center and top plates taken from TBS SourceOne v0.3

• in my case plates are not 3mm as it should be, but CAD design assumes carbon is 3mm
• the assembling is not as designers expected (bottom plate is at the center)
• it should be possible to assemble the arms below the cage

3D PET-G printed arms with aluminum pipe reinforcement inside

• quadcopter will work fine even without aluminum pipe, but it is better to have it inside PETG arm
• it is possible to increase thickness or put carbon reinforcement of different shape inside
• motor and LED cables goes inside reinforcement pipe in the middle of arm to center of frame
• aluminum pipe diameter is 10mm (1mm thickness)
• print using 2-3 perimeters and 4-5 top/bottom solid layers, infill 20-50%

Custom designed 3d printed mounts

• pigtail VTX & RX antenna mounted to top plate
• pigtail VTX & RX FrSky r9mm antenna
• rear midplate for RX or other parts
• side GPS mount and BN-880 GPS/Compas case
• HD camera 'coach type' mount
