Heffalump
By CaptainFalcon on Mar 09, 2018
Thought it would be cool to be the only one with this odd frame on RB. For 20 bucks it turned out to be a decent frame. I asked my kid what we should call it so she's the Heffalump.
I should mention that this thing is by far the quietest 5 inch quad I've ever heard. Cruising around at half throttle and its almost silent. The punch out and quick turns/flips/rolls only sound like a 3s quad. I'm not sure why because she's pretty fast for her weight!
All the electronics are conformal coated with the exception of the camera board, sd card slot, ufl connectors, and vtx button Should be good enough as long as I don't attempt to drown it.

Turning out to be a cool build!

The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..

Looks cool! do you know the weight?
It weighs 310 without the battery or strap. A picture of it on the scale is in the comments... I didn't change from the 'In-progress' stage to the completed stage the right way and a few pictures ended up there
Alright thanks!
