By Killawatts on Jun 30, 2020After building a number of sub 250g miniquads, a 4 inch build that is way too heavy for anything but cruising, and a 7" build that is way too precious to practice acro on... I decided it was time to build a simple 5" setup that could carry a gopro, fly medium range, and do freestyle. After a bit of research (and opportunistic sale hunting) I came up with this build. Went a bit try hard on the green... but I like it. The name Falkor (which Foxeer has used for their camera) comes from the movie "the neverending story" that I grew up with. Falkor (for those of you who don't know) was a luck dragon. I took this queue in the naming of the build. For now its running on stock pids/rates and flys like a champ. Future plans are to dial things in a bit more, and to upgrade the ESC's to 6S since everything else in the build supports it (other than the motors which max out at 5s) but a quick google shows there are ways to still run 6S batts with a bit of betaflight magic. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions!
