This frame is really fun. I get 4-5 min flight time with 450mah 3s (long type). Highly recommend! It's a little heavier than your average toothpick (126g) but it flies amazingly well. These Rcinpower 1204 motors are great and very efficient Haven't tried any other props yet, these Gemfan 3016 are awesome and I haven't had to replace them yet. I may try some 3028 once I bust this set.

Here is some DVR! I'm not the best pilot, but some people asked for it so here you go:
