My 3" build. Something small and easy for those quick outdoor flights over the winter.

• Conformal coated everything before soldering. Touched up over the solder points after soldering. I had a situation at a rainy race, where one motor failed to spin at the line, but then started working again back at the bench. The Quad had everything conformal coated pre-soldering, but I didn't touch up post soldering, so I'm guessing a water drop bridged a motor connection. Here's hoping I'll have fixed that and have a good winter flyer.
• Liquid electrical tape under/around the stack as extra insurance.
• Used steel screws to attach the HGLRC stack to the base plate.
• Routed motor wires under the ESC - Kind of a pain in the ass, probably won't do that again, would be just as neat over the ESC.
• Heat shrinked the wires to the arm to keep things neat - easy to find heat shrink that fits over the arms on a 3" :)
• Used 16awg for the lipo leads, hope its enough, but its the biggest I could get to attach securely to the woefully undersized lipo pads on the ESC. Soldering the lipo leads to the ESC was really hard. I soldered them to the bottom of the board, but they detached and lifted the pads when I tried to secure the leads with a ziptie. I ended up soldering a bare wire as a bridge between the pads on the top and bottom of the boards, with liberal solder to keep things all together and act as strain relief. Lets hope it stands up to the current flow - the ziptie should help protect it from the lead getting yanked. I'll probably need to buy a replacement at some point.
• Added a 1000uf 25V capacitor to the top of the lipo pads. Note that doing so means there is no room to add the LED strip.
• Soldered micro buzzer direct to the buzzer pads on FC - sits nicely right above capacitor
• Ziptied ufl lead to the vtx to keep it from popping off.
• Ziptied near the AXII end of the vtx antenna to the frame - too much of a pain to route it through the antenna holder CF plate. If I switch to a SMA+Stubby AXII, then I'll use the plate.
• VHB taped receiver to the top of the vtx. and ran the antenna up through one of the holes on the antenna plate. Added a ziptie/heatshrink to stop it flopping around. Unsure of the range I'll get on the FS82, but the X6B just seemed too big to fit. Used the DSMX pad for IBUS, and got 5v/Gnd elsewhere. The DSMX pad maps to UART1.
• Used an XT60 because the 4S batteries I bought came that way.
• Added a gel pad to the bottom to grip the battery. It's a little heavy, maybe I'll prune it or replace with something lighter, but I really like these pads.
• Blue loctite on all motor screws, frame screws, camera screws.
• Updated ESCs to BLHELI_S 16.67 to get dshot commands.
• Using Betaflight 3.2.1
• Remapped motor resources in betaflight to account for the way I oriented the ESC and FC. USB cable plugs in through the front without any issues.
• Did not need to reverse any motors in BLHeli, but I am running reversed props.

Did the maiden flight with RotorX 3040:

Small yard, so didn't dare to punch it, just making sure it mostly worked. Felt a little heavy. Maybe a bigger pitch prop would help with that. Will upload a video when I next fly at a bigger space. No audio for you guys, but man do I like the way the BH 1407s sound!

Did a second maiden at a larger field, verified failsafes, that the Rx was in range for the entire area, did some punchouts and cruising:

Edit 10/22/17:
Designed and printed a holder for the AXII antenna, available at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2600736 It seems to stay in the slots on the sparrow frame even though it flexes. For extra insurance you may want to use a ziptie to hold the cable to the frame as shown in the pics

Flew my Sparrow in a race, and got my first 1st in an elimination round!
