7" Apus Toothpick Drone

This is my 7" Toothpick Frame designed from scratch. Inspired by @dave_c_fpv frame.
It was designed for AIO Whoop Boards, like newer ones with 25A or 45A constant current.

For AIO Board, I prefer a 45A one. Motors could be 2306 because this is a ultra low weight setup (about 450g with 4s 850Mah Battery).

Sick build !
is the AIO delivering all the amps ? the pads look tiny.
did you use 2 soldering pads for every wire ?
How much amp does the OSD at full throttle ?

racer x did an ultralight 7inch frame that I am considering to try.

Tks! Yes, it worked perfectly... I only limited the throttle to CUT by 85% on BF because this 2306 motors take more than 30A above it...
But, even with this limit, it flies amazing... So much punch and responsivity... With a two-blade HQProp blades, it's amazing and the current stays stable...

I forgot to mention... I got GHF411 AIO of 30A...

what is the weight of the canopy? I've been waiting for a canopy like this one to show up. I fly micros (3" and under) primarily, and like keeping my auw under 100g.
