Parts List ​

Z-84 Plug n' Fly (PNF/PNP) or Kit ​

TIP

PNF (or "PNP") versions include motor, propeller and electronic speed controller. The "kit" version does not include these components, which must be purchased separately.

Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) ​

Any small (>=12A) ESC will do:

Autopilot and Essential Components ​

  • Pixracer kit (including GPS and power module)
  • FrSky D4R-II receiver or equivalent (jumpered to PPM sum output according to its manual)
  • Mini telemetry set for Holybro pix32
  • Digital airspeed sensor for Holybro pix32 / Pixfalcon
  • 1800 mAh 2S LiPo Battery - e.g. Team Orion 1800mAh 7.4V 50C 2S1P with XT 60 plug.

Wiring ​

Wire the servos and motors as shown. Use the MAIN outputs (not the ones labeled with AUX). The motor controller needs to have an in-built BEC, as the autopilot is not powering the servo rail.
