I am moving further and further down the scale from building 7" massive long range rigs to 2.5", 3" and 4" tiny and micros.

I own two tadpoles, I bought them fully assembled because I didn't want to deal with soldering tiny pads but then Armattan announced the Bobcat and while it's a very awkward frame as far as where it sits in the heirarchy. I think it makes a solid mid range cruiser especially with the wide H-style arms and abundant space in the platform.

I got this as a kit, came with everything. At the time of purchase, Armattan offered it with the CL Racing F4 Mini and Spedix 4-in-1 5S ESC. For my needs, I am planning on using 525mah, 650mah and maybe 850mah, 4S with XT30. You can technically strap a 1300mAh XT60 to it but I really think that a 5" quad would be more suitable for that type of battery weight.

Motors are the Armattan A1404 run of the mills. But the props are unique. T4x2.5 HQProps make for a very quiet craft while remaining relatively nimble. Keep in mind, you're not going to be clearing gaps and doing flips and rolls with this thing. I mean you can, but I built this mainly for cruising.

Slapped a vanilla caddx vista with a shortened video cable, stock antenna and I must say, Armattan are at a league of their own when it comes to mounting VTX hardware, it's just a breeze and the final product is very clean.

As far as tune.. mostly bone-stock for the CL Racing F4 Mini.. Unable to find any firmware update beyond the 3.5.7 it comes with so I am limited by what I can do in that. But overall it's pretty smooth minus some propwash on extreme yaw turns.

Next for this is I want to attempt running Li-Ion 4S @ 3000mAh. I don't know how these props will handle the weight but running 850mAh has proven promising thus far.
