Has survived at least 2 crashes in deep snow, and I still get 3.75-4.5 minutes of flight time with the stock 2x 1S power system. Can definitely feel the weight as expected, but the quad flies far better than I imagined it would. I went through a couple different iterations for the antenna mounting, and ultimately settled on having it laid flat with the bottom plate (see last 3 pics). This solved the little bit of bobble I was getting with the ziptied vertical setup, and suprisingly has not effected transmission quality at least to a noticable extent. All-in-all very happy with how this turned out.

man this makes me miss my THFS. I loved that quad and I had so much fun with it. That was around the time i started experimenting with different frame designs too because of how durable that FC was. Took a whole 2 years, lots of crashing, and a dunk in a pool to die. Motor pads ripped off too but scratch off the lines leading to the pads and it would still work just as it did. Even the frame inspired all my current designs with the double braced format.

I would highly recommend to switch the dual ph2 connector to an xt30 and to use 2s batteries, It has made a huge boost in performance to my build
