I bought a pickpocket. Wanted to do a BQE build for a while, original plan was a 6S 1804 3"hotrod, but I liked the dynamics of my tinytrainer. This is lighter and flies longer. Drilled the props with my fancy fpvcycle tool to 2mm.
Prop guards are for fun and eases all the Karen's minds out there. it's just a toy, chill out.

how well do you like the Fpvcycle motors on this size of build? love how neat an clean your build came out.

they are very amazing. I was worried they'd have issues with the weight, but I can't really tell. I also get a solid 5 minutes of aggressive flying.

Mar 04, 2021

With 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!
