Test Bench For QuadCopter

As mentioned in my previous post, I managed to free up some time on a weekend and started to progress this project. My first task was to build a test bench so that I can test out various modules/functions of a QuadCopter, such as the motors. See below for the final product.

• High Precision Servo/ESC Tester
• Cobra 30A FPV Multirotor ESC
• Cobra CM-2208/20 Multirotor Motor, Kv=2000
• LiPo Battery, 1.8 Ahr, 3S, 20C
• 9 inch Battery Strap
• Power Switch (capable of > 16A DC)
• XT60 Connectors
• Cobra C-22mm Motor Radial Mount Set
• Bullet Connector Set, 4mm
• Cable Clips
• Screws, Washers, Standoffs, and Nuts
• Metal L-Bracket
