Built this incredibly smooth flying Chameleon.

Still waiting on a black runcam to come in to clean up the build some. Also getting a reprint of the vinyl for the top plate so it goes to the end. Considering switching to a 4-1 ESC to allow more color through however I really want dshot 1200 on this build.

Otherwise, happy with how it turned out.

The effect looks better in person. Far more range of colors than I can pick up with my poor photography skills.

Really love that skin!! I've been looking at this one, https://www.stikitskins.com/holographic-white.html. Is that similar to the one you have here? What are your thoughts on it and how is the installation.

Thats the exact skin. Installation was a breeze!

Very cool quad! Makes me want to rebuild my Chameleon. Question: looks like you have a Tramp HV in it- how did you get v-bat direct from the FC and then did you power the Swift from the Tramp? or from the FC?

Hello,

I wired up the tramp to the VTX+/- on the board which supplies 7.6V to the tramp. This is considered the correct way to wire it with this board; 7.6V is plenty.
