I wanted a bigger (but still pretty light) endurance / longrange build than my previous 4".
In search of something similar other people might already have done I stumbled upon Scott Tomlinson's Black Opal 6.
I was fascinated by it being able to stay in the air for such a long time, and by only feeding it with more voltage it becomes a fast racelike flyer.
This is great!
that covers two different builds I wanted to make, this one could do both!

But my frame choice fell on the slightly lighter Druckbär Ultralight.
for the motors I chose the same 2203 from TMotor as Scott did.

the first flight wasn't that successful.
the ESC obliterated itself in flames and took two motors with him.

I'm still not sure if it was a faulty ESC or user error.
a few weeks later I discovered that the current and telemetry cables from the ESC to FC were switched, maybe that led to the fire?

damage report:
ESC complete failure
FC fine
frame a little burned on the surface otherwise fine
VTX was on top so it is fine
cam the plastic back probably saved it from the worst. it's a bit molten otherwise unharmed
battery only cosmetic damage, it's a bit smoked on the outside. unplugged it as soon as possible (burned my finger a little bcs everything was super hot. it was just on fire duh)
was letting it sit on the asphalt for about 2 hours, it might puff up or explode.
checked voltage and everything after that and it was (surprisingly) just fine.

I am still too scared to fly it on 6S again.
but it flies
