4'' Cherry Bomb

I lost my last 4'' quad about three months ago to the tree gods.....and now it's time to build another.
The Flycolor Raptor was definitely a joy to build with. All I had to solder were motor wires and power leads as the Mini Runcam, TBS Unify Pro and the receiver were all plug-in play with the supplied Flycolor cables. I will definitely build with this setup again if the FC holds up to my abuse.

yeah those raptors are under-appreciated. I have one in my BQE 210 build and it's so clean.

UnderDawg   May 12, 2017 

Yeah, I really like it as well. I have another in the mail for the build I'm working on now.

BQE   May 12, 2017 

awesome. what frame? I was supposed to have flycolor 20mm x 20mm towers on the way but they have been stalling.

UnderDawg   May 12, 2017 

I'm gonna do a Race Frog build. The frame should be here tomorrow.
