Gaui 330X S Build

The Gaui 330X is one of the smaller quadcopters and it is also one of the simplest in design and function.

There is no software to install to get it to fly, just a little jiggerypokery with your radio and the four ESCs (Electronic Speed Controllers).

Gaui is quite a well established company and their quadcopter is one of the earliest and, therefore, most used around so there is a fair bit of support available if you're thinking of buying one.

The first thing that strikes you is how small the box is, about the size of a shoebox, so it's hard to believe there's a whole quadcopter in there. When you open the box the inner layout is very nicely designed, with fold out windows and everything fitting snuggly -  the sort of packaging you would expect from a professional outfit.

The build instruction are actually very clear and fairly easy to understand, but I will post my pictures here as there's always something usefull in someone else's picture if you're trying to figure out how something fits, which way around it goes or what it's supposed to look like.

Note that not all the pieces for the wheels are in the same plastic bag - the lower, metal, collar and washer are in a different bag to the tyres and wheels etc.

In the above picture the power leads are only temporarily fed through the bottom hole to make it easier to connect them all.

Note the soldering gear is not required to build your Gaui 330X S quadcopter Build, I needed it to change the battery connection to Deans so I could use my batteries.

I put tape over the cover's tabs because I didn't think the magnets were very strong.

Gaui 330x S Quadcopter Radio (Transmitter) setup

To setup your radio you need to put -30 expo (or +30 on some radios, mine is a Futaba 7C) on ailerons, elevators and rudder to make it easier to fly. You should also set end points of 50% to ailerons, elevators and rudder AND your gain channel, the one you put the green wire on. You should also put an end point of 70 or 80% for throttle up.
