Yes Im already going through my parts bin , Ive only got 4 inch stuff tho , Only yesterday i bought a gopro 7,
And have decided to build a bunch o x8s to haul it about, I like the fact i can lose a motor or 4 and still fly,
GAME ON

Good man! I would expect NOTHING less! ;-)

Oh. A 3" X8...? Nice. How is it flying? I watched Nurk's test flight, and that was interesting. What kind of flight times are you getting?

Kcajjack   Jun 24, 2020 

Have only taking it for a few flights so far. The best way i can describe is it is really stable. Feels like a cinewhoop a low speeds, but a 5" at high speeds. In freestyle, it feels really grippy.

Hrm... now you are tempting me! ;-) Yes, I know that X8 grip and locked-in feeling, I like it, but I've only flown big X8s... which require a lot of room to fly, and well away from people. So they don't get flown much. But a lil' 3" X8, now that is an interesting option! Any chance of posting some more photos? I'd really like to see how you got it all in there. But either way, good work!
