By Bushwacka FPV on Jul 13, 2017From here on out all my Floss(es) will be named after Norse and Pagan Gods. Meet Loki the Quad Of Mischief
After building an loving my 2 5 inch floss(es), I wanted to see how the a 4 inch 1407 build would compare. and the truth is it does nt. This quad just corners SO much better than the even my 5 inch on triblades, and prior to Loki, my 5 inch floss were easily my favorite quads to fly. Basically I am giving up maybe 10 percent in top speed, and gaining 20 to 30 percent while cornering.
The AUW no battery is 182 grams and with a 850mah Bolt HV it is 265 grams. I do not like the TJ props pictured I like how the HQ 4040 Tris fly and have some RK4040 Tris coming to see if they are more durable than the very fragile HQ props.
The Millivolt+spark 4 in 1 was chosen because it only weighs 9 grams total. This is my first time running RF and its been great(still no working Buzzer though) Raceflight seems to fly awesome. Politcals aside there might be something to firmware+hardware combo. IT should be noted my stack is mounted on Bobbins, as I did not trust the O rings that the FC+4 in 1 use.
I went with a Mini on this over a micro because I like the 1.8 full size lens over the 2.1 Micro Lens. Using a VT)3 because they works really well, and the screen is better than the TBS method of blinking lights.
Overall extremely happy with this package, in my backyard DVR time testing I am faster with it then with a my 2204 Build. My 2204 build might be faster for another style of piloting but I think this thing suits me way better.

Hey man, sick build.
Was wondering if the 20*20 fc/esc's hold up ok with 1407 4s?
I would say 20 packs in and so far so good. Running 850 and 1000 mah Graphene.
I probably should cap them as well, but I was lazy.
