MISSION:

• Small, Whoop sized
• Prop guard
• Brushless
• Sort of durable frame

Old project, not exactly satisfied with the result, but I'm proud.

Being in the Whoop scene for a while and I found standard brushed Whoop lacks power in general , especially when one attemp to perform slightly acro maneuvers, fishpepper to the rescue! Paired with 07 micro brushless motors the main components are settled.

Soft mounting was the hype and I decided to jump on it with the design, and I took it to the next level - by soft mounting half of the quad. Flight controller and camera/vtx is mounted on the prop guard, which is isolated from main frame with the propulsion system with 3D printed TPU arms, as a side effect the build is quite durable since the main mass is not rigidly connected to where it crashes most (prop guard).

FPV system is simply a VM275T AIO camera, mounted on top with 3D printed mount. Other 3D printed parts are used to mount FC/ESC and battery, sharing screws when possible to save some weight, not the lightest build and flight time is extremely short, but the most exciting 90 second flights.
