Fun little LOS build; 3" sounds like it wouldn't work, but the LEDs and props really help with orientation. Been kicking around forever, have let my little brother crash it full-tilt into the ground and it just takes anything you can give it. Older hardware, but it's still a ton of fun to just throw around the park, practice LOS orientation, and do a lot of flips without fear of totaling something that'd be a pain to rebuild.
177.8g all-up with 3s 450mah Nano-techs, 127.5g dry.
Handles nicely on 3s 450mah, can run on 3s 850mah but starts to feel a bit heavy. 4s 850mah is fun, but it ends up feeling just about the same as the 3s 450mah packs and the 4s 850s are better spent on something that can use them.
