Wanted a lightweight 3" topmount freestyler.
With most 3" frame being quite heavy (Micro Apex 58g??!!), I decided to go for the Micro Reverb (33g, much better) despite knowing that things will be a little tighter.
Having a pretty good idea from my other tight 3" builds, I knew pretty much the parts list to go for.
Check out https://rotorbuilds.com/build/26823 and https://rotorbuilds.com/build/26466
The result is a light build (120.5g dry) with 1404 motors on 4S!
I've added a pic of my Micro Reverb against a buddy's Micro Apex, and you can really see (and feel) the difference in size and weight.
Things to be aware of:
Other than that' it's a very straight forward build, and so far it's been an absolute blast to fly!
