- conversion; mavic
If its not too bad and i feel i can do it for others and provide a quality service, I'd hve no issues doing it! I'll keep y'all posted
Some more pics, some weight pics of the stock shell and the new shell. The stock one is about 239g with no battery tray, the new one is 385 without any metal/hinges.
Are you doing this with instructions or a video ??
Hope your not just winging it...
Looking good so far

Didn't notice in the vid or see it in a post so if it's in there, forgive me... but do the arms fold Mavic style? Or is this an "appearance only" thing?
thanks man! i watched a video in chinese, I'm super american and only speak English (they say an English version is coming)
I watched it, wrote down the major steps and am pretty much winging it based on that. I'm recording it so i can make a how to for others though. edit heres the vid:yeah the arms fold like the mavic. Well, pretty much both arms swing in, on the mavic one set of arms swing in,t he other go down and around. This doesnt do the down/arond motion.

**** that is going to be heavy!Some more pics, some weight pics of the stock shell and the new shell. The stock one is about 239g with no battery tray, the new one is 385 without any metal/hinges.
What is the small lipo on the USB board for?
Also, something he did not do in the video, be sure to put some silicone on the motor wires where they are soldered to the board. This is to help prevent the connections from breaking from vibrations. I have seen this happen.

It's a gps recovery unit with small battery looks like they offer to customers in china
I hope you will will let us know the reduced flight time with the mod.
146 grams is quite a hefty increase in weight. Almost half the weight of a stock battery which is 180 grams.

How come. The new shell is 385 g and the old 239g. without battery = 146g.
Stock battery is 360g. Half of that is 180 g.
Are you quibbling over 34 g?
So what am I missing??
Im not sure Beau, honestly i'd be a tad worried about too much weight since the shell is heavier than stock and we dont know what the plastic arms will do. That said, its good quality material, doesnt look like its gonna break or anything. Theres places for it for sure, not sure i will though.
