Some notes about the build.

  • The 30amp ESC with 4inch arms it a quite squeeze. Make sure you solder the motors directly to the ESC so you can fit everything on.
  • Cable ties hold the ESCs in
  • HS1177 STD is held in place by the top frame. Its cramped in there so it can’t move. If you use 5″ arms or change to 20a ESCS you can get the correct mounting plates for the HS1177 inside the frame.. I couldn’t fit them as ESCs were in the way.
  • As I was using the Aomway to power my camera, I noticed the aomway did not output enough voltage to power camera from 5v PDB. I then had to change the PDB and make it 12v output. However when you change it, as per the Matek manual If the BEC is setted to 12V, No voltage is on the Aux pins, so I could no longer power my FC using ESC 1 section. I then had to

What would I change?

  • I certainly would not build another 210 with 4inch arms. As the ESCS fit inside slightly, its a real pain to get this tight build done. Definitely use 5″ arms or bigger!
  • Smaller VTX – The aomway is quite large and only just sneaks inside, was a pain getting it into position.
  • Solder the ESC pins facing inwards, this would allow you to rotate the board so usb is easy to get to. I was lucky that I managed to get everything to fit with the way my ESCs are plugged in.

Finished build, just waiting on XSR, VTX and camera to be installed.

Connected XSR to Naze32

Setting up the FC – To get the buzzer working from the PDB via a switch on Taranis, I needed to follow this guide – https://goo.gl/bhaUwV
You connect a servo cable from PDB to ESC 1 spot on Naze32, then turn on servo tilt in clean flight. You then goto the servo tab and set servo 1 to the AUX channel on your taranis. You may need reverse the channel on Taranis as well to get it to function correct way. (I did)

You can see my ESCS just fitted on and stuck inside the quad slightly.

I put some glue to hold the plate in as it kept falling out when I was trying to stick it all together

Everything hooked up, now just need to put it together!

I was lucky here… because of the PDB buzzer setup i had, the bolt210 back panel fitted nicely in the ESC 2 spot.

All Finished and ready for the maiden flight!

Ended up hot gluing with cable ties to hold camera in.. wasnt firm enough from top plate.
