V-Tail Quad - Build

The V-tail motor mounts are available in our web store. As is the single piece landing gear and the tab kit that transforms the Replacement Delrin - Straight 13-370 into a landing gear.

The original V-Tail quad featured in the Bat Bone episode.

The motor mounts were made from aluminium that were drilled and bent to 40°.

It was difficult to get the angles identical.

So we made this 40° V-Tail motor mount kit

Simply glue together

The motors used in this build are the SK3 - 2822 - 1275kV

The motor mounts simply squeeze onto the 1/2" booms

Perfect angles every time.

The Bat Bone frame needs to be modified to accomidate for the dual tail setup.

The Any Copter can also, very easily be made into a V-Tail Quad.

The two tail booms mounted. The frame can still be used as a normal tricopter after the modification.

Front arms in place.

The tab kit transforms the Replacement Delrin - Straight 13-370 into a landing gear. 

The Simple Delrin Landing Gear is really tough and can be used on both 1/2" and 10mm booms.

Electonics mounted.

David shows in the video how to set up the KK2 board.

He also shows how to do the first flight adjustments.
