Thanks Jeff for the feedback.
The frame is about 384€, the gopro camera mount with 2 servos included is 157€ and finally the transparent cover is about 35€.
For sure not the less expensive Y6 frame, but one of the nicest one I have seen.

The only people that make them is XAircraft (for their pending X8), all others have had to fabricate them for themselves (accept Josh I think who was sent some by XA)

Hi,

I just finished with assembly of my X650

On a test run the motor3 does not spin, it shakes left-right but does not spin

I checked connections and they are all correct - any ideas?

thanks

P.S. Rotated the motors and same motor works on different port of ESC. The motor on M3 port of the ESC does not spin

P.S. there is video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=braQRTFKUBA

Try throttling down all the way and up again. Sometimes I'll get a motor that won't spin when I first throttle up. You double checked that you have it wired correctly?

Triple checked the connections, swap motors, did throttling up and down and no change

Is it possible to have ESC bad?

Then I drilled out the threads on just one set of the motor mounts and bolted them together. If I get a chance I'll take some pictures today. This setup really worked well. It looks very professional which was my target all along.

be good if you could post some pics of them, close up etc

cheers

The LED's flash all together when the throttle is all the way down. When the motors spin they are on all 4 of them

I also used x650 motor mounts. I have a full machine shop, but rather than take the quad to my shop, I just used the tools in the basement. Cut the mounts in half on a bandsaw, drilled out the threads on one half, and ground off the ridge with a dremel. Finished on a sander. I'll post some pictures tomorrow, x650 is at the office, and I stayed home today.
