My goal here was to build a 3" for proximity flying that is robust and agile on 3s and 4s.
My starting point was CodeRed's "Full Build" video on YouTube, but I wasn't happy with the way the motor wires were routed (around the edges of the ESC) because they did not permit the red side walls to lay flat, so instead I routed the motor wires over the top of the ESC between it and the FC. I also rotated the FC as compared to the build video to provide access to the USB port.
The camera is powered from the 5V output of the TBS Unify, and the TBS Unify and FC are both powered by VBat. The R-XSR is powered by 5V from the FC. SmartAudio is hooked up to UART3 on the FC.

Nice build man! Did you have any issues with hot motors with the RX1407? I run them on a 3" ducted frame and they run hot no matter what PIDs/Filtering I use it seems.
AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..
Read moreWith the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..

a friend of mine gave me this frame to start out with, is there a auto one stack that u could recommend???
meant to say"aio"
I'm happy with the Lumenier Micro Lux V2 + the 4-in-1 ESC. Have not had any issues on either 3S or 4S.
I have, since this build, moved up from 3S to 4S and from the 3040 props to 3052s. The added power is fantastic.
thank you hubris!!!
what do u think about 1107 motors with 7500kv as a substitute motor size???
I would not use those motors for a 3”
