I've really been enjoying slow cruising lately with my other GPS enabled quads so I decided to build another one but with 7 inch props this time around. There aren't a lot of 7 inch frames but this one caught my eye since it has plenty of build space and it isn't over-priced for what you get.

I again used the Matek F722-SE F7 flight controller siince it has a barometer and plenty of UARTs. I already had a Holybro Tekko 32 4in1 ESC sitting around so I decided to use it for this build. It did require a bit of extra wiring to power the ESC from the flight controller but it was simple to hook up.

I drew up and printed the Hero 7 two piece mount, the flight camera mount, the GPS/Vtx antenna holder, the Immortal T mount and the motor wire guards. I found the arm guards/motor vibration dampeners on Thingiverse and printed those as well.

I recently ended up getting a bunch of the BrotherHobby Returner R6 2306-1660kv motors for a very low price and used some of them on this build.

The ViFly Finder 2 was taking up more space than I wanted so I separated the battery from the buzzer and mounted them next to each other.

Which lipos do you use and what's the flight time. When you fly efficient or bit aggro
