65mm Whoop

This was a result of replacing every single part of my original Mobula6 until only the camera remained. I'm still using standard metal screws and large 0802 motors, but the canopy, consisting of a single ziptie, is awfully light. It comes in at 18.7g. It's plenty fast to zip around in large indoor spaces and I get flight times of about 3.5-4 minutes, and I'm not light on the throttle. I love 65mm builds, but while it does survive outdoors, it doesn't have the speed to really tackle larger obstacles like trees.

As far as that ziptie goes, I just split it down the middle with a craft knife, put some foam behind the camera, and forced a screw through the tail. Changing the screw location can change the camera angle, although I wouldn't call it easily adjustable.

With a serial RX and a built in vtx, this betafpv aio is almost unbeatable and I'm hoping we see more similar boards from other companies.

Your Mobula6 sounds perfect for indoor flying, but for me, when flying outdoors, stability and speed are top priorities. You should consider using larger motors or even upgrading to 75mm to better handle outdoor elements like wind or trees. Bitlife

These 0802s are already on the large size for a 65mm. I just don't fly it outside anymore since I built my toothpick so I don't mind the lower speed.
