The Falcon Multirotors Babyshark is shipping now! Get yours for only $25!

Babyshark Pod is a 2" brushless micro designed to look cute and crash hard. It's a very tight build that requires a very specific set of components, so it's not for everyone, but it's definitely rewarding to build and tons of fun to fly.

This TinyFish FC is amazing, RSSI, telemetry, current sensor, blackbox, and SBUS D8 RX?! Much to my surprise, the 1103 10,000kV motors don't even get warm on 2S with 2035 quadblades and it has tons of power! With a little tuning and less-windy weather, this thing will be a riot.

Build tips

• The stack: M2 8mm steel socket cap screw -> frame -> M2 nylon nut -> ESC right side up -> M2 3.5mm female to male standoff -> FC upside down -> M2 nylon nut -> M2 nylon nut -> FSD TX-200 -> M2 nylon nut
• I hand-cut nylon standoffs to 3.5mm with an Xacto knife to get it all to fit as low profile as possible
• I mounted the flight connector upside-down so the USB port would not get in the way of the VTX
• I put VHB between the VTX and the FC, as well as on the back of the camera to prevent shorting
• I used the E-flite-style batteries with the 3-pin JST-PH connector,
• I hotglued and heatshrinked the leads on the female JST-PH connector so the pins don't slip in, so both wires, individual heatshrinked, hotglued, then heatshrink around both wires and partially covering the connector
• I used 24AWG wires for the ESC power wires as the batteries I was using used 24AWG, so there's no reason to use a larger gauge for a shorter length of wire
