My 2.5" LOS build with soft mounted stack and top mounted battery.
I picked the frame because it was 3mm thick and I plan to crash this Little LOS a TON. I had to drill some holes for the standoffs, the frame only comes with the 20mm holes. I use the 20mm to soft mount my stack, and my custom 30mm holes for the standoffs/battery stand.
Story time. I got a little cocky and slammed Little LOS into the pavement. A motor broke off (bolts sheared right between motor/frame) and the motor wires twisted, exposing some of the metal. A little heat shrink, some care, and an hour later I was flying again. I'm glad I went with this thicker frame!
The 650mah batteries are as big as I dare go, and I wouldn't go less than 450mah.
The DYS 6500 motors do well, but run a little hot sometimes on 3s.. I have some of the new Emax 4000 on they way to try out.

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
