Tiger 250

5 333 11

This is one of my earlier builds and is a bit heavier than my mini racers. It is great for long range flights with a gopro and can still whip around a race track. The 12amp esc's are a little under powered for these motors, but the rotorgeeks 12amps have been running strong for months now on the 2208's.

How much does it weigh?

Whiffles Oct 19, 2015

What sort of flight times are you getting with this?

So it's a bit of a tradeoff. I think aluminum is probably the way to go as I'll take reduced bench time over a couple seconds of flight time.

Ya it's a tradeoff. Everything in this hobby seems to be! lol

I wonder where we'll be in 5 years. Maybe we'll reach a point where a single battery will be enough for a couple flight sessions.

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
