After some poor decisions and terrible luck, I lost my first build in a flooded creek. After that, i decided to go a little smaller to increase potential flying locations. I figured 2-2.5" props would be ideal. I also wanted it to be able to be able carry a micro swift. After failing miserably to get an X2 Elf build together, I decided to use the Bullshark frame.

The frame is awesome. This build was very tight, but I didn't have to shave anything down to get it together. No serious crashes yet, but it feels sturdy. I went with the HGLRC F440 because I'm bad at soldering and really appreciate the larger pads. The 1105 motors are recycled from my attempt at an Elf. They're plenty powerful, but I'll likely upgrade to 1106s when one burns out.

I've made a few changes since I took these pictures. I screwed the camera into the canopy first and foremost. I also moved the receiver antennas behind the standoffs and moved the reciver itself to a safer place under the canopy. I'll update with flight footage and new pictures when I get them. Thanks for looking!
