By OptimaZe on Dec 15, 2020

20 404 2

Been having fun printing a few different frames lately and really like the design of this one so decided to build it up. Still need put some shrink wrap on the arms for the motor wires, but other than that she's ready for her maiden flight.

Update 12/21/20
Replaced the 3D printed canopy with a NewBeeDrone Goober canopy resulting in a weight loss of a gram and a half.

Thank you sir! I really enjoy putting these little kwads together. Especially this time of year when I typically only fly indoors or in my backyard. I rarely fly anything bigger than a 2.5" during the winter months.
