This is the NEW ab-initio QUAD STEALTH that all the Pro-Pilots are raving about - ARF Electronica - All Scarab 12mm class multicopters share similar core components and can be reconfigured to bigger Quadcopters or Carbon Quads by cross-grading. We wanted to offer a special QUAD to prospective pilots who were getting into aerial photography but needed to build up their stick-time fast. Your likely a Pro Photographer but not a pilot. There is no substitute for air-time. For a noob pilot this means climbing the learning curve and spending more time airborne and less time building or re-building after a crash - so the Stealth was designed to have fewer parts and be nearly unbreakable following the usual lawn strikes and heavy ground contact events. To do this we have used 1.6mm thickness booms and set the 1220kv motors up to work well on both the older 3S1800 and best on the new 4S1200 LiPo. The best part is the Stealth has the same core design , handling and stability of its bigger camera carrying brothers like Reconn and QuadOcta - but the payload of this Armour is built in in the extra strong frame and 1.5mm booms making it armour plated for training incidents. so this way you can just keep storming around getting more air-time and becoming very hot on the sticks. Building good flying skill is vital and needs a really tough machine like Stealth-armour to get to the point where you just don't crash any longer. The Stealth is a total package and the motors/ESC/Props and and Airframe are the perfect combination - add PARIS Sirius IMU control system = Hero ship.
Hero Features
- Near unbreakable booms 1.6mm aluminium wall thickness - metal parts made by CNC
- Long flight times - 10-12mins
- Excellent stability and perfect trainer for building lots of flying time in a small space like a garage or a living room or an urban backyard
- Quite - When operating the stealth outdoors - its so quite people dont even know its there - 5 Star neighbourhood rating - perfect for night flying or public parks
- Small size for transport to work :) - 320x320mm - so it will fit in a box 320x320x100mm - props off. Everything else on and ready to fly.
- Weight fully assembled with Recommended LiPo - 690g
- Weight fully assembled with Rx, PARIs etc - WITHOUT LiPo main cell = 560g
NOTE : Can be flown witha 3s2200 if you have a lot of trex 450 cells lying around - but flies much better (more responsive - faster acceleration) with the
4s1200 zippy LiPos on these 1220kv motors
NOTE : 2 : When we say nearly unbreakable - we dont mean delibrate attempts to crash it into concrete or unsafe pilot practices or dangerous flying - We recommend an open sports field with thick soft grass lawn - until you can hover nose-in.
NOTE 3 : a lot of
never-flown-before-prospective-learner-pilots ask if Armour can carry a GoProHeroHD2 - no - sorry - that's not what this particular Scarab is designed for -
this is a TRAINER - reason is Armour is already carrying a payload inside the airframe - extra strong engineering to withstand training incidents - Armour makes Pilots by giving the possibility of using a full blodded system (most of the value is tied up in electronics) combined with a super-tough airframe - it will become your friend and build your confidence. If you are already an experienced RC plane pilot or Multicopter pilot then skip this trainer and go straight to the payload version of

Tips
-
Follow the building guide carefully - allow at least three days to complete the project. Measure twice - cut once.
-
MultiWiiCopters are nearly twice as efficient as a RC Helicopter providing the props are matched to the ESC and engines.
-
6 x 10amps is 60amps continuous power (72amps peak if your 40C lipo can cope) this is massive on 4S -
your HEX will be climbing like a interception rocket - You do NOT need 18Amp ESCs - it's a common mistake
with multi engine ops - especially 6 engines to go past the humble 10Amp Turnigy ESC - these things are
perfect - in the hover the ESC is running at about 3.5amps on a HEX. You don't need the extra weight of a HEX.
-
Recommended props are - 4S 9050 Triples with 65g 775kv CarbonBird motors available on this site to
give a large amount of slow moving downwash. In the hover the throttle should be 1/3 to 1/4 maximum. The HEX
is very powerful
-
Use a magnetic-balancer to balance all props statically;
then run them individually to check they are centred true and the tipshave the same path; any vibration will reduce
the effectiveness of the Wii gyro or anyother gyro.
-
Never screw/glue or bolt the Wii Motion+ to the board - use good quality FOAM TAPE. Make sure the wires to the WM+
are soft, curved and not tight.
-
For Aerial Photography do not use an ESC to power the Vcc line. Use a seprate independant
switching BEC and solder the Vcc and GND lines to the
board. Select 5v. Note the MCP1825S has a maximum Vcc of 6v.
-
Keep your PROPS OFF -
not installed - until you are fully conversant/understand in full the functions of your Tx in full including
TRAV (end Points), the arm and disarm procedures - realise that for a noob skiping or out-of-order set-up
steps or moving sticks, or even static - PROPS may start at
anytime without warning. Never install props prior to calibration of the ESC and testing
the gyro orientation, and arm/disarm testing of the board - YOU are responsible - make sure your actions
and your Copter is safe - remove the prop -remove the risk.
-
Always maiden on default PIDs' - If the copter is not almost perfect on default PID's then DO NOT go straight to
altering the PID's! MultiwiiCopters require good quality ESCs such as HobbyWing® or turnigy Plush® (Not
SuperSimple) then do full calibrations of all the ESCs, the correct timing set/programmed into the ESCs and
lastly good quality wiring and soldering (not short 3.5mm press fit connectors) -
Use FLUX PASTE to complete all soldered wires.
Safety in Australian Skies
- Keep more than 30m from persons,choose an empty sports field for your first flights
- Do not fly near pets, houses or cars
- Never fly within 3nm of an airfield or above 400ft
-
Never install your props until after the Multicopter is fully tested and 100% correct without props. Engines can start
suddenly and without warning IF YOU FAIL to understand how they work or skip any steps.
- Set your Tx/Rx binding to low throttle 1/4 position so that if the link is lost the copter will descend slowly.
-
Always keep your Copter in line of sight for one pilot ops - FPV is only legal in AU with a buddy on a buddybox -
2 person FPV is 100% legal using the buddybox system below 400'. See CASA Part 101 Regs
-
RC Flying is a privilege - please enjoy it. Don't show off and don't get over confident
-
Home movies are fine, but in Australia professional paid photography or videos from an RC aircraft requires
CASA Part 101 compliance, including exams and approved ops manuals and pilot competency tests by CASA official
which will cost several thousand up front.
