So, the MiniSKEW_L is small and all, but once I realised the JHEMCU FC I used in it had a smaller 16x16 sibling, I had to pick one up to try, and came back to an old failed frame design to put it in.

I originally designed a tiny toothpick size plus frame way back in mid 2019 when 16x16 FCs and ESCs started becoming more widely available, but the first I got (a Diatone Mamba) turned out to be quite fiddly to solder. After a long struggle to get it together, I finally went to power it up...and it had a dead ESC. I rage quit the project, and it sat on my shelf, gathering dust.

The frame did get a reworking for the new FC - the pod was redesigned to allow the antenna to be pushed through from the inside (original required it to be pushed from the outside, then the UFL clipped to the VTX, which was a huge pain), and the baseplate was reworked to be asymmetrical rather than having both side arms swept back, which brought the motor wires out at the corners of the ESC rather than needing the wires to be fed over the top of the ESC to reach the far pads.

To fit the VTX and RX, I opted to make a shelf for them as I have in several other quads. I found the nuts were getting in the way, so decided to just drop the hole diameter so the screws grip the printed part tightly, giving a nice flush surface for the electronics to sit on. The components were reused from the original Mamba based build - a NamelessRC VTX, Foxeer Predator Nano (with connector, soldered would be much better from a squishing everything in point of view), and an XM RX. A 3D printed antenna mount which runs parallel to the capacitor should keep it from getting chopped in the props.

Frame weight: 14g, dry build weight: 54g. Got a couple of different sets of props to try with it, and still waiting on some little LiPos, but hopefully should be a fun little ripper for small spaces!
