Here is the start of the Phantom to F450 conversion.
Seems around the same size, just need to extend the motor leads.
I started by removing the landing gear: 4 no screws, and the compass lead.
Next came the12 No hex head screws, followed by the 4No small cross head screws at the ends of the motor arms.
I unplugged the GPS lead from the Naza and removed the top cover. Carefully remove the sticky cover and remove the four cross head screws holding the GPS to the cover.
The next step is to remove the Led lead and USB lead from the Naza. (taking photos as you go along really helps for when you need to put it all back in.
Here it is removed.
Next remove the four crews holding the Led arm covers on, then remove the 4No hex bolts from each of the motors, then remove the 8 No cross head screws holding the ESC'S on to the frame( be careful and remove the transmitter board also)
You should then be able to then remove the whole board and motors from the case. You will be left with this...
Next step drilling out the RC-Timer Carbon props and balancing them (only one prop needed balancing straight out of the pack) by the way RC-Timer are doing a deal at the moment NZ$30.00 for 8 No 10.45 carbon props.

Internals all ready to go in......
Part two to follow.......
did you ever finish this? thinking of doing it myself
ReplyDeleteYeah, would love to see part two! I'm also thinking of doing this. I wasn't actually aware that you could transplant all the guts to a new frame (including GPS and compass)
