how does it fly?

hooptiej May 07, 2017

my motor choice is poor.. it flies reasonably well, but it really needs more KV, there just isnt a way to appropriately prop a 2208 with a 4".

i should have gone for a higher KV tail motor instead of a Higher torque.

Nifty. Is that frame available for sale? I haven't seen any new tricopter frames for some time.

hooptiej May 05, 2017

it was $65 from Patrick at FoxFlite Aircraft - As far as i know FB is the only contact - i shot him a msg asking for a sharable info link

this is an All-new frame , my build is production frame #3 - #1 and 2 were red and blue, and went to the UK last month

He needs a proper link with a price. That'd really help his exposure here.

I fully agree, he seems to be busy with other life events ...

from foxflite Patrick:

i was planning on keeping things small and just going through FB to sell the first 10 of em. if things get ramped up in the future ill make sure to let everyone know, but right now things are crazy busy. sorry.

that said , anyone interested - facebook is the way

It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
