2.5" BR25 / Runcam Split Mini / 1106 / R-XSR

4 4 4

Based on https://rotorbuilds.com/build/11447 , I wanted to do a 2.5" prop build after completing my first 5". Everything went together well and it flies great on Betaflight 3.4! The RunCam Split Mini records way better video than I expected. Running all stock PIDs in Betaflight. I get about 4 minute flight times out of the 500mah batteries charged to normal voltages.

Here is the maiden flight video!

There is a pic of it next to my Martian II 5" for size comparison.

Update, upgraded to Betaflight 3.4 release version and added a spare gps for the heck of it. Return to home works great on the 2.5", ha ha!

do u think this motor can handle 4s?

2 quick questions. First is your video recorded with the Runcam or did you ziptie a gopro on or something? 2nd what is the pink and green box you have ziptied on in your very first photo? The one that looks like it has a button on top...

Video is from the RunCam, and the box on top is a UBLOX micro GPS module. This quad can return to home on failsafe instead of just drop (new feature in Betaflight 3.4).

Cool build! I am just about done with my rebuild using the new sides :D Only thing I did differently is using a tx20 as vtx which meant it was an ultra tight build height wise.

Out of curiosity, can you share your pids/config for bf 3.4 please since we are running practically identical builds :)
