Smol Boi Rev4

This quad was originally designed as a 2.5" caged indoors quad with a 3D printed frame. When it turned out to be much too powerful for indoors, I changed it to a 3" non-caged frame. On the maiden flight with that frame the quad was immediately destroyed flying into my ceiling. I rebuilt it again with the same frame and it flew great, but I was afraid to fly the quad because the frame was very weak. I then bought a 3" tooth fairy and built it into that, and i've been very happy with it.

Nice setup man. Lightweight 1106-1108 3 inch setups kick ass. I like them better than heavy 3 inch setups with 1407's. They just maneuver better, the only downside is that they dont do as well in wind. I'd rather save my 1407's for 4 inch setups anyways. I use the same camera mounts too btw. They work soooo well! I often remove the carbon camera mounts and use those DIY mounts instead. You can easily mount a camera on just about any frame with standoffs. Sometimes it even allows you to squeeze on slightly larger props too.
