My Second Gecko Build after loosing the first, whoops.
This one is was designed arround a naked/stripped down Caddx Vista Unit.
Weight on the stripped Vista is ~18.4g, saving 11g compared to the ~28.4g full vista.
All 3d Print Parts are designed by me and available under:

hello, what's the overall weight and the flight time?
Very Clean!! Did you remove the receiver from the caddx unit some how?
You can still get a smaller stack height by removing the shields and moving the the two pcbs closer together, so there is still some size benefit! =)
Removing them also reveals a second set of whoop sizes mounting holes, that makes the vista stack perfectly with aio woop boards.
I used this on a geprc phantom build, and the total stack height (aio and vista) ist just 17mm and sits comfortably in the 20mm high frame.
Heres a picture of what the stack looks like https://www.instagram.com/p/CEuVhSlHgQQ/
fyi, I was told by armattan that those rear prints that sit between the bolt and carbon void the warranty. they processed the warranty anyway but just a heads up.
Nice work with the 3d prints they look great - are they TPU? What brand of material is it? Cheers FlashyFPV
Wow, how'd you get those solder joints on the ESC so clean and consistent?! Literally beautiful soldering work
Thank you very Much!
I don't really have a recipe to be honest, but from what I've learned it helps to apply lots of heat but only heat for a short amount of time.
This way everything will heat evenly, flow well and stay fluid during removal of the iron tip, and the solder wont have to stay fluid for long and possibly degrade.
You definitely don't want a tiny solder iron tip in that case as both thermal mass and surface area will help conduct more heat quickly.
