Noisy Cricket 5" budget build.

This was my first build. Had a lot of fun with it, the month and a half it was running. This was a great learning build. The Martian frame can take a severe beating. I once slammed it into the sidewalk after only a couple hours of fly time. Both of the left side arms smashed into the ground, and other than the chips and scuffs from the crash, there was nothing wrong. Great frame for a beginner.
This quad was finally killed when my son and I took it out to the backyard one morning to practice stick control, I thought the grass was dry. It wasn't. The #2 ESC died.
