    CF793 frame for H8 mini FC

    EDIT: April 24 2016 - from now on all Armattan Productions frames will be cut from MATTE FINISH carbon fibre. When you order this frame, it will come in matte finish, not glossy as specified above.

    93mm diagonal frame in 1.5mm carbon fiber, designed for the H8 mini FC but will take other FC's.

    Motor hole size is 7.0mm, weighs 2.35gm. Build pics:



    Suggested PID's to start with if using the silverxxx firmware:

    float pidkp[PIDNUMBER] = { 11e-2, 11e-2, 8e-1 };
    float pidki[PIDNUMBER] = { 9e-1, 9e-1, 4e-1 };
    float pidkd[PIDNUMBER] = { 5.5e-1, 5.5e-1, 4e-1 };

     

    EDIT 30th May 2016 - it appears the newer H8 mini's are being shipped with a new blue pcb and this blue pcb is now flashable with the silverxxx H8 mini blue firmware. There are reports that the white H8 mini from Banggood is still being shipped with the green pcb. The blue pcb (and the H101 pcb) have an on-board battery connector, so if you want to mount the pcb on top of the frame, the battery connector will have to be removed and flying battery leads fitted. Alternatively the pcb could be spaced higher above the frame for connector clearance, or the pcb can be mounted underneath the frame, which also makes the LED's more visible (especially for night flying).

    I tuned a friends CF793 recently that was identical to mine except the Syma 7mm motors were from a different manufacturer. We ended up with these PID's, very different to the settings on my frame listed above. Therefore expect some trial and error to find the right settings for your quad.

    float pidkp[PIDNUMBER] = { 10.0e-2, 10.0e-2, 8e-1 };
    float pidki[PIDNUMBER] = { 3.0e-1,  3.0e-1, 4e-1 };
    float pidkd[PIDNUMBER] = { 6.0e-1,  6.0e-1, 4.0e-1 };

    CF677 frame for H8 mini FC

    EDIT: May 24 2016 - from now on all Armattan Productions frames will be cut from MATTE FINISH carbon fibre. When you order this frame, it will come in matte finish, not glossy as specified above.

    77mm diagonal frame in 1.0mm carbon fiber, designed for the H8 mini FC. This frame size is the same size as a H8 mini, and is designed to take a flashed H8 mini green or blue pcb (FC), also the H101 and H8S 3D FC will fit (they are the same size and shape). The H101 and H8S 3D allow 3D flying. There is more info below on custom firware for the FC.

    Motor size 6mm, weighs 1.27gm. The build in the links below weighs 12.7gm without battery. Build pics:



    For PID tuning, if using the silverxxx firmware, start with default settings minus 15%. When you get the rates/acro mode tuned, if you still have oscillations in level mode, reduce the Kp term in angle_pid.c by up to 50% or as required.

    CF677 Rev 1 for H8 mini FC

    Quad frame in 1mm CF for 6mm brushed motors and H8 mini FC. New motor hole size is 5.85mm vs the 6mm motor hole size of the original CF677 currently for sale. Side lugs for rubber bands were added after a suggestion by RCGroups member Denovich (thank you!). This frame has not been checked and built as far as I know, so buy it at your own risk, it is listed at cost price. The design is near identical to the other CF677 frame.

    BEWARE - if you buy this frame the 6mm motors you have will not just slide in, you will have to remove approximately 3 thousandths of an inch (0.07mm) from the inside of the motor mount holes to achieve the motor fit that you want. Suggested tools/methods are a fine round file, or 400 wet and dry sandpaper wrapped around a pen or suitable sized wooden dowel rod. Beware of carbon fibre dust, it is bad for your lungs. Do it under a running tap or use suitable protective gear.

    CF793 rev1 for H8 mini FC

    Quad frame in 1.5mm CF for 7mm brushed motors and 93mm diagonal motor to motor distance. It is designed to take a H8 mini blue or green FC, or the H101 FC, with silverxxx firmware which gives level and acro modes and the ability to tune the PID's. Side lugs for rubber bands were added at the suggestion of RCGroups user Denovich (thank you!), and motor hole size reduced from 7.0mm to 6.9mm for a firmer motor fit. It is expected to have to sand out the motor holes a little bit to fit the motors. Be careful though as the difference between too tight and too loose is very little.

    For more details refer to the original version CF793 listed on this site here: http://www.armattanproductions.com/pages/product_details/935

    CF893 8.5mm motors 93mm frame 1.5mm CF 2.75gm

    1.5mm thick frame, 93mm diagonal, 8.5mm motor hole size.

    Estimated weight 2.75gm.

    Designed for H8 mini, H101 or H8S 3D FC.

    I have bought and thoroughly checked the 2mm version of this frame, which is cut from the same drawing. It looks great. Armattan are masters at cutting in this size. 8.5mm motors are a slightly loose fit in the 8.5mm holes specified. The motors will have to be secured using thin slices of PVC tube, glue, or some other means. The frame is listed at cost price.

    CF8100 8.5MM MOTORS 100MM FRAME 1.5MM CF 2.95GM

    100mm version of the 110mm frame, arms are narrower at 4mm wide, the centre section is now symmetrical, and 2mm holes in the arms for the motor wires have been added.

    Estimated weight is 2.95gm, it will take up to 65mm GF props, and 8.5mm motors, 1.5mm thick. The motor holes are specified at 8.5mm.

    It is designed to be as light as possible so is not recommended if you crash more than occasionally. It was drawn up as a customer request and has not been tested yet so order it at your own risk. When test builds have been completed, and if all is up to expectations, I will report the results here. It is listed at cost price.
