I'm loving everything about this build except the Caddx Turtle. Sometimes the recordings are all choppy and the fpv feed is blurry trash! Runcam next time.

The frame is great, plenty durable with lots of space. I came out of a dive into a road sign and only bent the props, plus other assorted crashes where nothing happened. I didn't like the rx antenna tpu provided with the frame so I chopped it up and used it for mounting the camera. This allowed me to use smaller standoffs for a lowrider setup. The immortal-t antenna fits perfectly up front with a couple zip ties and contributes to durability in the case of head on crashes. The swept back h-style arms of the frame allow for more "glancing blows" rather than buckling arms.

Since I went with the Emax 1408s I had to try some new props. These motors use a t-style prop mount which means 1 gram less per motor. Most props in this category are made for smaller motors so there isn't as big of a selection compared to standard 3in props. Fortunately the HQ T3 tri-blades are perfect for the task and really push these motors to their potential. The Emax Avan Minis are great too. They're a bit more docile and quieter with more flight time.

The Diatone 20a stack is cheap, reliable, and just enough amps to handle these motors.

At first I was using an AKK FX3 Ultimate VTX but it was garbage. I've had a few of them and they are hit-or-miss. I swapped it out for a TBS 400mw which works much better.

The new Emax nano antennas are my new go-to. They're as good or better than the stubbies and pagodas while also being the lightest.

I've tried a few batteries and 850mah 4s seems to be the ideal size for ripping. 1050mah is a good choice for longer flights if you don't mind losing a little agility.
