Is this a rebuild of "peppy geppy", or does that one have a purple metal canopy (i'm a little color blind).
Also: this bad boy looks AMAZING.
According to your posts, this is at least your 4th build on this frame. I'm thinking about building one, two questions; what size motors would you recommend, and why did you go with the top mount battery this time around (does it hold the battery well in a crash?)?
I am assuming that it's a heavy enough frame that I should plan on running 4s. Have you tried it on 3s, would you recommend that?

When you say "Peppy had a drug overdose" do you mean you fried one of your ESC's?

Mar 04, 2021

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
