After playing with my previous 2" drone I decided to build something slightly bigger but stay under 250g and purchased 3" frame from iFlight.

The frame is painted to fluorescent orange to make the drone easier to see in the sky and find after "unplanned landing".

Fully assembled drone with 2S 650mAh battery weights about 165 grams.

Gorgeous build ðŸ†! Orange frame is superb.
I'm planning a similar build as well, will likely put it into a Cygnet 3 inch frame.
Do you think your setup would work with a 2S 18650 LiIon pack as well?

I've tried 18650. It's a bit too heavy and does not giive huge time improvement.

whats is the flight time you get out of the 6000kv motors & 650 lipo?

About 5 - 5.5 minutes
