There have already been a few 3 inch adaptations of the Toothpick concept and the Sanchez frame is my take on it. Super light 3" builds like these just got much nicer since we got whoop style all in in one (AIO) boards like the GEPRC with an amazing 12A 4S rating. Those boards make it possible to use bigger 1404 and 1304 motors that easily spin three inch props on a simple Toothpick like build.
The Frame focussed on low weight and with 7.5g it is hardly heavier than a regular toothpick frame. There are thre "no compromise" versions that fit either 16x16, 20x20 or AIO boards plus a fourth version that has all three options but is a bit heavier.
I also tested this build with a Caddx Turtle V2. I'll link a youtube video blow where I go into details on that.

hey whats your flight times and battery on this awesome quad? im thinking of using the motors but not really sure on 6000kv
How do you have the vtx secured under the canopy? Does it attach somewhere or are you using double sided tape or just letting it sit htere?
Hmm bangood description of these motors says that it eat up to 14A in 6000kv version. And you used 6000kv motors according to photos. But your esc's are only 12A. Didn't understand this moment.
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..

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..

Hi,
thanks a lot for the awesome build!
One question:
Can you make another canopy (Nano Pod 14mm) with the hole dimensions for the screws, only with the size of the Caddx Mount?
Thanks!
