Ziptie25

Inspired by Quad66's ziptie builds. I took an old frame, put the lightest possible components on it, and finagled a zip tie canopy with the OV231 nano cam. I also tried the HQ 2.5in bi-blades again and I just can't with them. The pitch feels all weird. So I put the Emax Avan Rush props on and it's much better now.

The zip tie canopy is so cool. Too bad the camera kinda sucks.

Update: I previously said I was using the Runcam Nano 3. Turns out I'm actually using the OV231. They're easy to mix up. I'll rebuild this in the future with a new frame and a proper runcam.

This is super cool! love the minimalist design haha! how does your RX hold up on crashes?

Chunder Mar 19, 2020

So far so good. The VTX antenna is a bit wiggly. I had to put some hot glue on the ufl but the rx antenna is solid after many crashes.
