The Real Toothpick 🤺
By sergetania on Feb 09, 2019
Finally, today I have had it in my hands - Toothpick by KababFpv!
So far, it's the nicest whoop conversion frame I have seen. The carbon is very pleasant to touch, love the satin finish. It is very easy to mount parts though I still had to print a set of standoffs to mount the FC and canopy. As with my other conversions, I still can't access the USB port. The weight is only 35g without the battery. For whatever reason, the real toothpick feels more stable in the air than the lil duece build. Overall, I absolutely love these tiny things, they fly amazingly for their size! Thank you, KababFPV!
Since the top 1/4 of the throttle range is kind of useless with these drones you may want to limit the throttle. To do that, you can use the following CLI commands
set throttle_limit_type = scale
set throttle_limit_percent = 75

this is so AWESOME. im going to convert my uk65 to this immediately. whats your average flight time when using these 450mah 1S batts if you dont mind me asking?
Nice build, I bet it's a blast! Where did you get the TPU standoffs? Are they on Thingiverse so I can print some?
nice build. I like how u got the fc mounted down. I have been telling a few people u don't need to flip it then u don't need to remap the motors.love the canopy I have the red snapper 6 canopy for a up coming build. How do u like those flex rc motors? They have some nice frames to.

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..

With 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..

what camera/vtx are you using
This one uses camera/vtx that came with eachine US65 whoop. In my latest toothpick I use Eos2 and Unify Nano Pro32.
How do you like the EOS2 and Unify Nano? I'm thinking of building a toothpick so I can get the best flying performance and best video signal I can on 1s. But I can't decide which VTX and camera to use, so many choices.... Thanks in advance!
Unify Nano is absolutely the best! I now use it in my 3" drones. I usually set it at 100 mW on 1S. At 400 mW it produces much better video than other vtx with higher power rating. Eos2 is fine, not sure if it is better than a zillion of other cameras
