Introducing the Ghoul: a quad built with a DJI Phantom Shell, but with better components and more capabilities. I came across a DJI Phantom Shell while navigating ReadyToFlyQuads.com and decided to build a quad using that shell and powering it with a Mini APM and overall better components. This is what is needed:
- RTF OPERA QUAD FRAME $28
- Tiger T-Motor MS2212-11 KV: 980 4 needed x $18 each
- RTF “PHANTOM” OPERA ESC 20AMP 4 needed x $9 each
- MINIREADYTOFLYER 2.6 V3.1 $40
- MINI UBLOX 6M GPS W/ (35X35MM) MOUNTING BACKPLANE AND COMPASS $21
- LED INDICATOR FOR APM BASED FC’S $5
- OPERA FULLY POPULATED MAINPLATE “PHANTOM CONVERSION KIT” $14.50
- MultiStar High Capacity 3S 5200mAh Multi-Rotor Lipo Pack $27.73
- FRSKY L9R – LONG RANGE 9/12 CHANNEL RECEIVER $35
In part 2 I will show you step by step how I put it together: stay tuned!
