Gear List

This is the stuff that the MultiWiiCopter team pilots use and recommend. It's taken us a lot of trial-and-error to discover the items on this list (these items represent a fraction of the time and money we've put into our hobby).

Propulsion system (motors, ESC, propellers)

Radio Control

Power

  • iCharger 106B+ Charger
    LiPo Battery charger
    Only battery charger that properly balances LiPo cells for storage (3.8v) and use (4.2v).
    The A30 supply can run 3 106B's at 1ccharge rates
  • Watt Meter & Power Analyzer
    Power (efficiency) Meter
    Used to test amp-draw of different propellers to different motors and check ESCs in safe limits.
  • Turnigy 3A UBEC
    DC-DC Power Converter (uBEC)
    Provides independent switching 5v power for PARIS CPU board and servos.
  • Zippy 1800mAh 4S1P 40C
    LiPo main battery (4S 40C)
    Zippy 40C 4S (more efficient than 3S for 750KvA motors). We only use Zippys Korean chemistry.
  • ZIPPY 2200mAh 3S1P 40C
    LiPo main battery (3S 40C)
    Zippy 40C 3S (for when 4S isn't possible) We only use Zippys. 3S is easier for low budget FPV as cameras and transmitters often need 12v - 70% as good as 4S. 3S requires motors running higher kva and often gives sluggish throttle response - DONt run other heavier 3S!
  • Li-Po 25x33cm Jumbo Sack
    Fire-proof battery bag
    Save your house/car from burning (LiPos are no joke). Put your LiPo batteries in a fire-proof bag.
