Mini FPV Quad CPPM & FrSky conversion
20A few things about the mini quad has always bugged me - and the amount of cables and the way they stick out from the FlySky rx being one of the main issues. So the aim here was to reduce the amount of servo cables from 6 to 2.
To do this, I'm using a FrSky DR4-II rx which can talk CPPM... and so can the KK2 board, so a single servo lead takes care of the 5 channels of control I'm using, whilst the second servo lead supplies 5v to my micro VTX.
For those interested in the exact specifics, the rx I'm using is here http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=24788&aff=663923
The quad is a modified version of the HobbyKing micro Quad that you can get here http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=27899&aff=663923
I'm using a Boscam RC305 Video reciever.. sadly this means having an external VRX, but them's the breaks for using a micro VTX. These seem to have disappeared from HobbyKings and Foxtechs websites.. perhaps discontinued ? Instead the 805 is compatible

The camera which provides my live out, and 720p recording the the 808 #16 camera with the 'D' lens, get it from this ebayer

The micro VTX - I bought from a online Chinese store that seems to have disappeared, but you can get the same module from foxtech

Please be aware that these little VTX's and VRX's don't necessarily work on the same frequencies, there are 3 'bands' of 5.8 which are used, so check the frequencies of the VTX against the VRX so you get something that worked (I managed to buy a VTX in the wrong band the first time)
