My custom BetaFPV 95x v1 build was a disappointment when it came to flight performance. Despite trying to tune the frame, I could never get an enjoyable flight experience.
After a crash that destroyed the frame, I decided to switch to a locally sourced 3" toothpick frame, convinced that the ducked props were to blame for the poor flight performance.
To complete the rebuild, I needed to make some adjustments. I scaled the 3d printed canopy to fit the new frame, and had to extend the motor wires, using red silicon-coated wire I had on hand. I tried out Emax Avan mini 3" props, but with air mode enabled, the drone just shot to the sky. So, I decreased the motor idle, but still got violent bouncing and blast-offs. That's when I decided to switch to bi-blades, which turned out to be the perfect solution.
The final build weighed in at 64.84g without a battery and 106.14g with a GNB 550mah 3s. The flight time was amazing compared to any of my other quads, providing me with around 15 minutes of flight time. I could even grab a storage charged battery and still get 5-8 minutes of freestyle ripping. This quad has quickly become a favourite.
