Modifying the Bird
- Thread starter Sthornsen
- Start date
I co.pltely dismantled my bird. I added two 5.8ghz dipole antennas to the legs. I added 2 2.4ghz antennas from a phantom 3 pro. I added prop guard's. I added two external battery brackets, hardwired to the board two external battery battery ports.
Hi have to ask about props ,what they like,where get them,prop noise change,any flight time difference,thanks ian
I believe they are about the same for prop noise. As far as battery life, I'm supposed to loose a minute, but I have used them before and noticed no change. I bought them on eBay for about $10 for a set of four. They're called 9450 carbon fiber tri-blades. The advantage is a noticeable difference in stability.
You mentioned difference in stability,is it better or a little worse..

That bad boy looks AWESOME brother I Love the color Blue for lighting especially with dark colors. Id love to try those Props I'm scared to death though they wont hold up and cause a crash. lots of horror stories about aftermarket props circulating the net. Great job on that Bad boy though.

I've used the props before an had great results so I should be cool, but thou neber know. I bought the led lighting from Amazon...i bought a large kit because I also used them on my controller and my base station. Here's a scream shot. Thank you for the implementation. I'm always very hard on my self, so it's great to hear other opinion.

You mentioned adding two battery brackets - where are they & are they for the LEDs? I'd love to see a couple of pix.
