TX8 Octocopter Drone Frame TX8 design has more parts than my other “unibody” T-Copter designs. The result is a more complicated assembly procedure but that comes with the advantage that the longest print is only around three hours (compared to 10+ hours for the other larger designs).
- strong braced tube section arms with plenty of room to conceal motor wiring. Arms can be folded down or removed altogether for transport.
- designed for a dual 3S or 4S batteries located near the center of rotation/thrust with room for up to two 6000mah 3S or 4200mah+ 4S batteries (160 x 50 x 35mm capacity each).
- plenty of space to mount dual 4 in 1 ESCs – concealed but still well ventilated for cooling.
- floating vibration reducing top plate is designed for the Pixhawk flight controller](http://store.3drobotics.com/products/3dr-pixhawk) from 3D Robotics – but is also fine with others
- RF “invisible” frame – as opposed to carbon fiber or aluminium
- Assembly instruction PDF in the downloads
- 2 x 5000mah 3S batteries gives 15+ minute flight time (and there’s space for bigger batteries).
- all up weight for my build (see instructions tab) comes in at 2.65kg including batteries, camera and gimbal – and hovers at about 45% throttle.
