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!

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..
Read moreWith the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
