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.

rodrigo_sclosa   Jun 14, 2020 

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.

This canopy is a little bit big for 3"... I have other models, you can find at: https://cults3d.com/en/users/rodrigosclosa

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..
