After very limited success in 2014, this was my second attempt to break into the field of FPV. Essentially, I was left alone at work with a laser cutter and walked away with several average frame designs.

These custom frames were abandoned after a spectacular underestimation of the range caable with 2.4GHz control link. The guts survived however and a successful transplant undertaken using the 2.5 inch tadpole. Unfit motors and a low quality AIO camera system were the next to be upgraded. Over the course of the lockdown summer a rough guess of 80 packs went through the various iterations.
Autumn brought an upgrade to the camera. Unfortunately, causing upwards of 4 months downtime as Runcam have really missed in terms of reliability. I had a replacement camera sent to me without threaded mounting holes.
Over the winter, all hands went to the sails as the esc and fc (circa. 106 B.C) got firmware updates and a sparkly version of Jesc with bidirectional D-shot.
The motors shown are relatively cheap but otherwise excellent, light and powerful. Note, a throttle cap is required for 3S. I have burnt through motors in collection of this knowledge. You won’t notice the cap on 3S as you have already crashed.
Its taken a beating the bottom plate is in fewer pieces than it deserves to be, but its weight has helped.

Abnormalities:
• Old 20 x 20 stack required a custom carbon adapter
• Spektrum nano receivers ship with horrific non-silicone wires
• Bicycle inner tubing used for 550mAh mounting works perfectly with no extra-large poorly designed Velcro straps in sight.

4-6 minutes flight time on 550mAh 2S typical.
