Since i loved my superlight build Kuro i decided to make a second super light with some spare motors i had. I wanted to use the same frame but and similar components. The only difference from this build and Kuro is Shiro has Lumenier 2204 2500kv skitzo motors, a canopy and is bottom mount. This quad also hauls ass and handles well but handles different from my Kuro. I turned Shiro into bottom mount to compare the differences between top mount and bottom mount. I do notice a difference and to be honest switching between each sucks. There is always an adjustment period since they feel different. Pro tip just pick a setup and stick with it, changing from bottom mount to top mount to me makes a huge difference.
End weight 218g the canopy added a little weight.
