Thug220

Originally started with the thug220 v4, unfortunately the top and bottom plate were destroyed in a really bad impact, not a single component broke just the carbon and 6 standoffs.

Few modifications; dropped to 30mm standoffs instead of 35mm. All aluminum hardware. I had an issue with the arms shifting after minor tumbles so I a widened the m3 holes to snugly accommodate an m4 now it is much much stiffer. Finally I designed a 3d camera mount, 40 degree for the run cam sky. It turned out well but am working on another version with a adjustable angle.

Where did you get all the purple hardware?
Getting purple motors soon so matching hardware would be cool!

Lemon RX eh? Are you using a Spektrum TX?

town.literate Jan 23, 2016

yup dx6. the satelite plugs directly into the dodo

Whiffles Jan 23, 2016

I have the DX6i, but I'm swapping it for the Turnigy 9X. 6 channels are just a bit too restrictive for my purposes, but for a small racer the should be sufficient.

Nice frame but you've got it labeled as a misc part. Have any flight footage? This thing must be fast!

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
