Built this little 3" Armattan Gecko for ripping around the backyard with lots of trees and small gaps. Flies well even with the weight of a DJI Air Unit, not as well as a light weight 5", but still fun in areas a 5" is marginal. Prop noise is much lower to help keep peace with neighbors and overall, very robust when it finds the ground unexpectedly.

Nice build. Any tips you could share to secure the air unit? How did you go about that?

I used 3M VHB double sided tape and a ziptie to hold the Air Unit to the top plate. The ziptie is located in the gap of the battery pad as viewed from the top. This comobination has performed very well with over 800 flights without issue.
