The list looks good!
You might need a dremel to drill some holes on the sides of the lowest compartment, to route the motor wires (if you are mounting the ESC inside the body)...

Yeah i was thinking about that. 

I'm not 100% sure exactly where i am going to mount them at the moment but well see when i get the parts.

Hopefully i can get the lighting set up at work and get some decent pictures of the quad to go with this build thread Smile

That was something that i had been thinking about. 
I have decided to go with the dys se 2205 motors. 

They should be arriving within the next week so i can finally get this build started.

Update 1 


Parts arrived from HobbyRC how ever there have been some issues. 
Some serious and others not so serious. 


  1. I have recieved DYS SE2205 2550KV Motor instead of the 2300kv (Not too fussed about this.)
  2. I decided to opt for the Favorite Little Bee pro 4 in 1 ESC.  (Had a problem with one of the pads which has rendered this useless)
I have now put a second order in at HobbyRC to get another 4 in 1 ESC. 
I have also added a new FPV Cam and Video Transmitter. 

Hopefully i will get this build finished and flying within a week. 


Also thanks to Oscar i also have the Carbon Top Plate to add to the quad which should help with weight reduction.

Update 2


I have finally got around to getting some pictures uploaded  Thumbs Up


Here is the Flight Controller with the header pins soldered. (Long story short these didn't work so had to de solder and solder in the angled header pins) 
[Image: IMG_0276.jpg]

Here us the 4 in 1 ESC that i am using. 2nd one of these the first one i ordered one of the wires snapped off the board during soldering rendering it completely useless  Cry

[Image: IMG_0277.jpg]

Next up was figuring out where to mount the ESC on the quad. 
Do i go for under the flight controller or mount them on the very bottom.??

In the end due to the length of the wires i decided to go with mounting them on the bottom as this was the best option. 

Before anyone asks why the wires are cable tied its to keep them in the right order for each esc so i didn't get confused. 
[Image: IMG_0342.jpg]


The next step was the flash the flight controller with the latest version of beta flight. This was possible the easiest step to perform.

Ignore the batter wire that was temporary soldered on while setting the quad up.
[Image: IMG_0281-1.jpg]

Finally i fitted the quad with the carbon top plate and added the fpv gear. As the Camera that i have is too big i decided to mount this on top as there just simply wasn't enough room underneath. 

However after looking at this for a few minutes i didn't want to risk flying like this as the camera would get completely destroyed! 

(Ignor the wiring everything will be tided up once the quad is work )

[Image: IMG_0345-e1473946675811.jpg]

I went back to the old top plate to help protect the camera until i can get a new one. (Who knew how tight money would get when moving into your first house lol)

Hopefully i will have more updates in the next month or so with more pictures and videos.

Hello mate, I've just finish mine.

Introduction to e-Ragg WBX5:
Who has not dreamed of a frame that bear the slightest shock, more serious during the exploration sessions URBEX with our quads.
Well we can say that thanks to e-Ragg manufacturer is now another approach proposed for freestyle FPV.
The frame Wbx5 Ragg-e is a pod directly realized in HDPE. High-density polyethylene of milled. He 152g bare.
It is 205 mm diagonal and can receive propellers 5 inches.
[Image: IMG_2518-700x525.jpg]
Listing components:
Frame:  Ragg-e WBX5
Flight card: Betaflight F3
Engines:   Emax RS2306 2400kv
ESC: Littlebee Spring 40A
VTX: IRC tramp
Camera: Runcam Swift 2
Accessories: Buzzer 5v  LED Programmable Lumenier
Mounting:
The instructions on the manufacturer's site is pretty self explanatory.
[Image: ragg.inst_large.jpg?v=1484239623]
The Emax white blend perfectly into the inserts. You will find the test engine here  http://www.miniquadtestbench.com/emax-rs2306-2400kv.html
[Image: IMG_2519-525x700.jpg]
It will take M3x4 and blue Loctite to secure the engine to the arms.
[Image: IMG_2520-525x700.jpg]
Mounting happens in reverse, the ESC PDB take place under the arms.
[Image: IMG_2522-525x700.jpg]
We must see how you go up your components before cutting in all cables.
[Image: IMG_2525-525x700.jpg]
As the ESC will be 40A, the section is greater and therefore he will think about the larger cable ducts in the lower hatch.
[Image: IMG_2526-525x700.jpg]
Be sure to drag your ESC control cables under the wheel cable or black cable. You will avoid my cable mishap hurt by the long screw that will slip to attach the lower hatch.
[Image: IMG_2527-525x700.jpg]
As mentioned above, it will enlarge the holes for cables.
[Image: IMG_2528-525x700.jpg]
In this configuration, I preferred to go out directly down power cable.
[Image: IMG_2529-700x525.jpg]
You must not forget to place the strap Lipo before screwing the bottom lid.
[Image: IMG_2532-700x525.jpg]
We can tackle the flight map, preparing wiring.

F3 Betaflight
[Image: IMG_2531-700x525.jpg]
You can even add a buzzer or LED.
[Image: IMG_2533-700x525.jpg]
The tramp is fixed to the top plate. The antenna connector is attached to the end of the frame. The latter can also be put in and the idea we would emphasize that the stem and the antenna dome for you to see what you prefer.
[Image: IMG_2555-700x525.jpg]
It will be a small amount above the tramp to let him breathe.
[Image: IMG_2559-700x525.jpg]
Interior view canopy with Swift 2 and the sensor of the Tramp.
[Image: IMG_2557-525x700.jpg]
It is conceivable without worries come with secure with a strap, a camera type Runcam 3 or GoPro Session.
[Image: IMG_2558-525x700.jpg]
Small addition of programmable LEDs.
[Image: IMG_2556-700x525.jpg]
On balance, nothing more going!

Video :
The first inaugural flight.



Zero Crew stab in e-Ragg.

Conclusion:
The Ragg-e WBX5 frame is easy to assemble. It appears to be solid and will in this case will still show when flying sessions URBEX. For more advanced, you will have noticed my blunder during assembly and completion of the flight map. I put it in reverse to the direction of flight. I had to make a 180 ° Betaflight software and remapping engine.
The engines are really impressed me. They are sluggish and consumption remains subdued. See the length in time, given the number of returns unstuck magnets with the RS series in EMAX.
The flight card is frankly very pleasant to work with. With the XM +, the RSSI is recovered through 16 and at the top of your OSD. On the top!
The only negative point of the map, it is the welds that do not fit on all GND and -. A known issue is not yet resolved. To weld you will need to spend on other lean mixture.
Good flights!
