Banggod 3 HDZero'ed

We live in the middle of a city, so flying my 5" and 6" quads is challenging. I have to drive out to the country side to fly.

My wife noticed that I was getting a bit bumbed with not being able to fly without long drives to the country side, so she gave me the thumbs up to build a "small drone that wont scare small children when flown in the local parks".

So I got myself a 3" Banggod frame... and then fitted it with FETtec AIO G4 35amp FC with 1507 2800kv powered by a 6S 650 LiPo :|

This is also my first HDZero/SharkByte setup. Since the Shark Byte Vtx is only 200mw, I thought that a 3" that I fly short range might be the perfect setup (while I wait for the HDZero 1watt Vtx to ship to convert my 6" long range quad)

Things to improve: The Vtx antenna is connected via a UFL connector.. this make me a bit uncomfortable that it might come off during flight. I don't have liquid electrical tape or hot glue to give it more security, but I plan to get some, asap.

I zip tied the antenna lead using only one of the two holes and the outside edge of the board with the large flat chip. I know the holes are for the mipi but I haven't had an issue with the heat from the chip and the antenna lead

I ended up crashing and the mipi and antenna got ripped out. The good news is that I have now upgraded to the Race Vtx 2 and have zip tied EVERYTHING! :D
