The original "deadcat" arms layout has been modified to more traditional "X" layout in order to avoid a mismatch between COG & COT.

Built as a fast mid range surfer for aggressive mountain flights (running 2200mAh 5S and up to 2600mAh 6S Lipo batteries), however also performs well as a long range quad when carrying 4000mAh 6S LiIon or even very heavy 4000mAh 6S LiPo.
I've opted for custom build motors from T-Motor, these are based on "F40" Pro-line with identical properties as their top of the range version IV, just upgraded in size to 2407 (rather than the original 2306) and custom 2323kv.
AUW with GoPro Hero6 is 707g before battery (my preferred batteries are 4000mAh 6S LiIon, or 2600mAh 6S LiPo at 425g each).

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..

Isn't 2300KV bit too much for 6" and especially 6S ? How long does it fly on which batteries ? From what I've seen, 1900KV ish is being used for 4S 6" longrange quad and 1500KV ish for 6S 6"...
Nice build tho !
