Once a Lizard now a Toothpick

I picked up a slightly used Lizard95 from a friend for a good deal. I've been craving a toothpick style build. So I decided to see if I can make this Lizard95 more toothpick like. Took the guts of the Lizard, 3D printed the awesome Calimero frame, pod from the Calimero HD, and we end up with a 76g ( +10g from the stock Lizard95 ) that can run a 2.5" prop on 3s. The performance does not disappoint.

OH SNAP! I thought I'd be the only one with a white Calimero! Now we are brothers (maybe not... but still cool...)!

Dave's designs are great. We are lucky to have him. I've been bashing up this frame with the same motors as you for a couple of months. Haven't broken a frame yet.

He has some really great designs. It's awesome that I can print a frame in PLA that will hold up well to the abuse.

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..
