The Saint

This is my FPV cruiser that's been on my work table way to long. As you can tell I needed to make a few modifications before going into long range duty. The first thing that had to go were the plastic motor mount / landing gear. I also added thrusters to the rear for a little more push.

Can I ask what thrusters you found, and how did the quad fly when using them? thanks

UnderDawg Jan 07, 2019

Sorry, but having thrusters was just a joke..

not that it's bad or anything, but when i see this frame the first thing that comes into my head is "Back in my day..."
nice good ol build tho!

thumbtwiddler, I not offended in the least bit... Just keep in mind that I'm an old guy ''From back in the day'' and we sometimes like a little old school in our lives. Lol!!
I promise my next build will be more up to date as I'm still waiting on Armattan to release the frame.
