Having built only three other quads and all being 5 inch I thought I would try something smaller. After looking at a bunch of flight footage of other members builds I deicided to go with 2.5 inch props.

I tired picking componets with the idea of keeping weight low. Ended up choosing 1402 motors over 1106 with hopes of getting a little more time out of each pack. They also had a small weight reduction of about a gram per motor.
Saw the Caddx EOS2(3.5 grams) and thought the weight gain compared to micro predator v3(5.5 grams) was worth giving it a try.
After watching bench thrust test for the 1402 8100kv motors I was a little unsure if the Emax mini magnum 12 amp esc would be enough juice. Ended up pulling the trigger because of the price.
I had seen Kentic Ariel's vector frame and was impressed by the quality. Saw the wasp110 in there line up and that it could mount 2.5 inch props and was sold.
Didn't think camera mounting through when buying Caddx EOS2. The space and screw holes in the canopy fit a micro swift great, but the EOS2 is much narrower. I had seen a whoop build that used a zip tie cut in the middle to mount the camera. I Was afraid I would have a bunch of jello, luckily don't. Had the VTX03 from the first quad I had built and it fit well stuck to the back of the camera.
Weight without battery is 80 grams. A few grams higher than I hoped, but it still flys well. Getting about 3:30 minutes on a tattu 3s 450 mah battery.
