Recently got back into the hobby and bought HDZero goggles and an ELRS radio (GX12). Before that been running Fatshark Attitudes w rapidfire and Taranis w CF since Bardwell was still a pig farmer.

So of course i needed to build a new quad! right? right...

New freestyle rig build around the TBS Lucid ESC and HDZero Halo FC. Usually run Xing but Pyro didn't have them in stock at the time so trying out these GEPRC SpeedX. It's claimed they're made by RCinPower so hoping they hold up for me.

Apex frame is notoriously tight so I had to be mindful of wire routing. Think it turned out pretty slick. FC and ESC are rotated 180 - since I'm running the Runcam Nano90 there's plenty of room up front to route batt cables there and out the side. This allows me to run from 1100-2200mah batteries (CNHL and SMC) without having aft CG without a gopro - my lone surviving Session 5 I'm rather fond of.

The Gorilla mount is cool but I had to use M3 countersink screws to mount the FC in order to leave room for a battery strap.

Looking for a more elegant way of mounting the vertical ELRS antenna but not finding many appealing 3d printed options. Ideally it would be at a 45 off the right forward standoff.. Maybe I'll mess around in Fusion at some point.

What suprised me is the weight w/o battery and GoPro is 430grams; only 7grams heavier than a similarly spec'd Armattan Chameleon I've been flying since 2017ish or whenever they came out.
