After breaking my CS110 decided to try this frame and build for MultiGP micro class. Call it dunebuggy because that is what my wife said it looked like after finishing it. This a great frame, flies really well and is durable. Thinking about maybe building up the 3 inch version as well.

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
