Fan of Armattan frames ..bored as sh..t with the confinement = 2.5 inch HD quad .

Goal here was to keep the frame intact as much as possible and it ended up being a nightmare to make everyhting fit .

Final weight is 100 gr without batt with a 5 amps consumption stationnary hovering ... now lets wait for the sun to test it for real

Cons. of this build:

  • not enought UARTs to get current sensor from the Esc (only 2 onboard)
  • USB ports are totally not usaeable whitout unmounting the caddx
  • R9 mm is near the caddx, i hope the heat won't be an issue
  • probably other issues incoming when flying in real conditions

But fun to build :)

Now that i tuned it and flew a bunch of lipos, it is just awesome ... those props are ok and flight characteristics are what i was waiting for..
In the end, the only down side of it is the FC usb port not beiing easely accessible
