Objective: Build the brightest most noticeable quad possible while maintaining acrobatic ability and moderate speed.
Constraint: Use old Qav 250 frame and other most parts on hand. Everything except the LEDS is come out of my horde of new and used parts.
Plan: 12 LEDs per top/bottom of each arm. 24 LEDs on bottom of base plate. 36 LEDs on top of stack plate. 24 LEDs per side of the stack. Total goal of 204 LEDs?
Top front arms, top rear arms, bottom front arms, bottom rear arms, and the stack will each be separate 'strings' running off the LED PD .
FPV has had quite a journey. Just a few years ago we started racing drones around a track and doing flips over trees, but professional cinematic FPV is a more recent development. DJI has always owned the drone photography market, but smaller acrobatic drones are starting to enter the market. They have the advantage of close proximity flight indoors and around people. There's more artistic freedom and..

With more efficient motors and frame designs it's now possible to push the envelope much further. This guide will walk you through the process of building a micro long range quad capable of flying 8-30 minutes and more than 4km. The build is moderately difficult, but with the right tools and steady hands..

On the bright side, at least you won't lose it.
