Looking real good..
Those 2836 are 28mm diameter ?

The ESC will be a bit of a chanlenge to be hidden in the frame but i manage to put 30A in the center if you are able to do the wiring custom (no power plate)

I have the F30A all mounted within the frame no problem.

Yes they are indeed 28mm Dia, the base screws are I believe 3mm @ 16mm cntr and 19 mm cntr.

Thanks guys, will need more advise when the frame arrives and during the setup. Cheers

Good..
Just want to be sure they fit the 30mm hole in the arm.. !

In an attempt to help myself decide what kind of setup to use on one of these frames, I've gone through the entire post and assembled the following list of setups. I wasn't able to find all the details for everyone's setups and I my have missed some changes, so if you'd like to contribute, please PM me and I will update/add your configuration. (sorry about having to use the code tag, but I couldn't find a way to do a table with this forum software).

Might want to hold off until the first batch of updates is over. I'm already getting some from people.

Nice idea. You should add lipo cell count too.
I'm on 4s with 10x5 eprops booth front & rear for 750kv. This would be too low for 3S.
Now it flies with the new Crius AIO 1.0 pro & mwc 2.1.

Does anyone have any advantages or disadvantages/pros vs cons as compared to a "regular" quad say such as a DJI flamewheel? I see alot of rolls and flips, does this machine fly in a straight or horizontal path?

A lot of yaw capability
It's more like a Tricopter than a Quad

This video show some flips, but more straightline flying

I've finally removed the boring Wookong from the Vtail 500 & grabbed a new mwc board , the new cirius pro ( mega 2560 ).

Here is it's first outdoor flight. This thing is a rock to fight strong wind.

Too much wind & no rcrate setted up to try loops here

I'm definitively fan of this Vtail thing.

Finally got the 500 build finished.
