3" 4S Vista low profile TP

While I always liked my DJI toothpicks, one thing that bothered me was the "height" you inevitably get by putting a vista, full cam and AIO on one stack, and the TPU canopys which always look a bit home made.

This build foucused on having a clean look and lover profile. I wanted to use the iFlight Alpha85x canopy. Problem: It's made for the nebula and not the full size cam. A bit radical maybe, but a set of pliers, some force and hot glue solved that problem :) Not proud of it but it'll do until a 14x14mm Nebula pro comes along.

The rest of the build is pretty simple.

103.9g dry and 161.2g with a 450/4S which is not crazy light but good for what it is.

any DVR flights? just curious of how your motors handle 4s being 5000kv pushing 3016 tri blades
mainly curious about the high end of the throttle without motor output limits

Hi Jim

I don't think I have a DVR of this particular build (or can't find it in my mess of recordings).
As far as I can remember it flew fine, but I changed to 1404s later.

Nice build. What's the AUW and what battery are you using?

Naked Vista Cam. Nice and tiny.
