After building and flying mircoDot, nightLife felt like a fat slob even after it's diet. So i decided to make some changes. Different frame and antenna, less leds :) I put the rx under the FC.
I managed to damaged a motor during the process... so this guy is running 3 1103 11000kv motors and one 1103 8000kv motor (the red wired one) since that's all i had on hand to replace it.
I cut up the frame and removed the entire center section. I have an armattan cf whoop brace in there to keep things rigid.
After all is said and done I shaved off 8gms. I think i can reduce another gram with some slightly shorter bolts.
I used a piece of foam to hold the battery snug.

FPV has had quite a journey. Just a few years ago we started racing drones around a track and doing flips over trees, but professional cinematic FPV is a more recent development. DJI has always owned the drone photography market, but smaller acrobatic drones are starting to enter the market. They have the advantage of close proximity flight indoors and around people. There's more artistic freedom and..
Read moreFor the longest time we've been limited to 3 to 4 minutes of flight and lots and lots of batteries. With more efficient motors and frame designs it's now possible to push the envelope much further. This guide will walk you through the process of building a micro long range quad capable of flying 8-30 minutes and more than 4km. The build is moderately difficult, but with the right tools and steady hands..

Chop the buzzer off and setup the Dshot beacon. Also button head screws are lighter.
I disable dshot beacon on purpose :) I would not be able to hear motor chirping in a crash where i fly, so beeper is a must. I also like dive-bombing while beeping, not something you can do with dshot beacon ;)
where do you get your button head bolts from?
