This is my Twig XL rebuild after destroying the original Racer-X canopy that came with the kit and killed the VTX.
I took the opportunity to transition the quad to ELRS and add some LEDs on the arms.
Found the canopy on Thingiverse and printed with TPU and created my own beefier custom motor bumpers which are currently not available anywhere, but I'll share if it's requested.
~To Do list:
Replace the bottom M3 screws that got lost in the last crash.
Upgrade to the latest BF version.
