This is my first build ever. After owning a camera drone for a while, I'm curious about Fpv. I bought a controller and a simulator, and I got hooked. I recently got myself a Pavo20 and flew in acro mode irl for the first time, which convinced me to build my own quadcopter. I thought a 3- to 3.5-inch frame would be a logical starting point since I’m still a beginner.

However, I quickly realized how wrong I was. This frame is not beginner-friendly. I had to flip the stack orientation, source a longer cable for the O3 air unit, and replace the stock SpeedyBee capacitor with a shorter, solid 470uF 35V capacitor to fit everything inside the frame. Despite its quirks, this frame flies beautifully, even in a 4S configuration. Coming from a 2-inch cinewhoop, this quadcopter really rips. At last, I’ve built my own quad.
