I assume you meant 1100kv not 100kv on the motor.

Thanks edit done

Hi Bill,

I found your new 10 inch build.

Yep you did can’t hide from you HaHa
Feed back?????
Bill

Do you have a TBS Crossfire module for the TX16S transmitter ?

Harry
No I do not, have the Nano receiver and the Vas antenna for the frame but have not brought the TBS module for my TX16S yet.

Bill, I guess that TBS Crossfire module will be one of your next purchases since you will need it to fly this thing.

Harry
My camera will be the next purchase, as it is part of the frame build, both big $$$$$$$$$$$
When I get to that point of my build if I have to I will change out the Nano and install a Jumper R-1 just to test the Air Bird.
I ordered a new sail for my DF 95 a few months ago and it got here yesterday, so have that to install on my DF-95 sail boat(RC).
Tying to install iNav on my Ga. 5 in, on and on. I will keep busy till I can get the TBS cross fire module. But the Air Bird will be my go to quad.
Still looking for efficient props.
Bulldog Bill

Bill,
You might consider starting a discussion thread for 10 inch props in the Long Range section. Krohsis might chime in; he is pretty much the King of long range. Plus, it might generate ideas, options, and sources for others as well.

Bill, What camera are you considering for the Air Bird??

Harry
I am looking at the Runcam Hybird, was just looking at the threads here, not a very good review seems those that are using them , are having SD card problems, was just checking you tube.

Did a little work on getting the frame set to build.

Building the Frame.
The first thing I did before assembling the frame, was to wash all the frames parts.
Then I placed them all where I think they need to go. Photos 003-1 to 007.
Next I placed all the screws in sperate bags, so when installing them I did not have to go thru the whole bag of pieces. Be careful when installing the screws some are only 2mm differs. Use the guide only as a references only.. See Photo 007-a and 008-a.
Total weight of the frame when built is 334 grams. Photo 018
A couple of items to take note of when building the 10-inch frame.
1)    Notice the end of the Arms, there is a slight differences. See Photos 001-1.
2)    Notice photo 008 when putting bottom and middle frames on arm, be sure they are all flat when done.
3)    Notice how the camera frames go, Very import only goes as shown in photo 009 and 010.
Sorry the photo number did not show up and I dont have time to fix them.















Will install the motors next.

Wow, that is one massive frame.
