This quad is a test of how small, light motors perform on a very low weight 5" quad. The motors are Brotherhobby T2 1608s in 3200kv. I got them for half price during a clearance sale and that's what inspired me to build an ultralight 5". The motors weigh 22 grams each with very long wires, so I thought I could get the weight of the quad under 225g. I designed my own frame for this quad as I couldn't find any frames that I liked that would mount the motors and fit 5" props. The frame was cut by CNC Madness and it cost only $32.
The succex mini f4 stack has performed very well so far and it made it very simple to build this quad. The only soldering I had to do was for the motors, battery lead, camera, and receiver.
Dry weight of the quad is 203 grams. The frame itself weighs 60 grams. AUW with an RDQ 1300mah 4s is 387g.
