My first Armattan Tadpole build.
I ordered 2 frames the same minute they came available. Chris from Armattan confirmed that I was the first in the world to buy these :D
This frame seems so nice and all reviews have been really positive. Let's see how it flies...
Painted the aluminium parts metallic blue to add some own touch. There are not so much to do to keep the weight as low as possible.
AUW is now 112g with Tattu 3S 450mah lipo.
I designed a light weight arm protectors/motor soft mounts. There tiny parts weight only about 0,5g. You can find the protectors from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4036637

vehicles are often positioned in the higher paper io end of the luxury car market, with a range of models to suit various budgets.
What size scews did you use to mount the Caddex? Seems like the extra 5mm ones that came with the tadpole frame are a little short.
do you think 1105 would be to much?
Just posted my HD tadpole build if you guys are interested in taking a look. https://rotorbuilds.com/build/21217
nice nice!! ordered all the components yesterday. going for a iflight 3pc stack. with flywoo 1103 motors. now just wait till stores in europe getting the frame in stock so i can start the build in 2 or 3 weeks. what a cool micro!! the frame is abit heavy for a toothpick build. but with 3s 450 it will rip! hope it will be more durable then the tinyhawk freestyle!
Lot more room than i thought there would be above this stack, Im still waiting on parts for pretty much the exact same build, althoug i also have an HGLRC FD413 nano stack on the way, not sure if ill use that if it comes before the Mamba F411
nice build. awsome frame. do you know the maximum height of the frame above the stack drillholes? i want to know if it would fit a 17mm 3pc stack.
I'm also interested in stack height. I've been considering building one using my Twig 115 components and the Baby Turtle.
dude that looks so cool lookin!! hew does she fly? i see you went to 3s to cope with the weight? (or ami just overhitnking that haha)

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

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..
