Stuff that was laying around meant for other projects. Drilled some holes. First time using individual ESCs. Needs some tuning!

super cool, looks like its made from a bunch of junkyard parts. mad max mobile.

Love it! Can't wait to see the flight footage. Most shy away from high pitch or apc style airplane props because they have poor static thrust and efficiency. In flight, the high pitch props can actually have better efficiency at typical cruise speeds if paired with a quad with a low frontal area.

I'm hoping so, I just can't find time to get out to my long range cruising spot. I will get around to it one of these days!

I would like to know how it flies with those big motors......

They would be power hungry, but the weight is so low, and running biblades (even this pitchy) well...I'll post some flight footage soon after some tuning. It's actually quite efficient.

I have a Megabat with 2206 1600kv motors...6S....have not had the opportunity to give them a good test. I can hear wobbling at higher throttle. Remember this is a thin frame. I hope your 2810 motors work well with your setup.
