Default Tarot 650 'Iron Man' Quad

Thinking about getting this to use with the Tarot brushless gimbal.
Anyone know anything good / bad about these - any reason not to get one ?


All carbon so should be light - and quad means less motors etc and more fun to fly.

I've bottled it - read few bits online that made me think again about the Tarot - apparently the RC Timer clone is better and less prone to break the arms. Also - as i'm wanting something specifically for video - i've ordered a 550 instead!

With the 550 - I know the 6 x Sunnysky 980KV motors I have will work nicely, also, the arms will be interchangeable with my 450, and lastly, i've read that the Hex config is generally more stable for video, so that sold it to me

After looking at many lovely Quads - I still liked the 650 - so decided to order 1 to use with the tarot gimbal.

Might get some pancake motors for it - i've read good stuff about long flight times with 600 / 700kv motors and 11 or 12 inch props

Andy I've just completed a build of my new tarot 650 complete with tarot gimbal using sunny sky 980kv motors. Hovered it indoors last night at my local buggy club, hopefully the weekend will let me get out and do some testing, I'll give you some feedback next week. Build quality was not bad, but it will no doubt break if I come down heavy, not sure that the frame is quite as strong as the flame wheel structures but it does look awesome. I'm just kinda worried that most tarot stuff has to be bought from hk, which means waiting longer than normal for spares, might have to think about stocking up on bits prior to needing them. Any tarot stuff I've found in the UK has been way too pricey.

Anyways hopefully the weather is ok at the weekend for some flying and I'll post up some pics and maybe some video.

Raymond

Yes - Please keep me posted - would be cool to see some piccies of your 650

I've just finally bought a GoPro 3 Black from Amazon - got the Lightening Deal today - only just though, thought i'd missed out. 239.99 for a Black
