This is the build the o4 is made for.
super stealth and surprisingly acrobatic.
let's see how it goes!

this is a rehash of this build
will be using betafpv o4 canopy instead of the newbeedrone one. unfortunately not as good looking.

just finished buttoning it up. it gained 6g from it's analog sibling which isn't bad. Most of that may be the beefier motors and this massive vibration dampening canopy. I have plans to replace that though as per marblekit's recent video, it seems the camera may do much better hard mounted! Plus I want to replace the lens with a wider one as well.

meanwhile, let's see how things thing is going to fly as is first! maiden forthcoming.
