CMW Merica frame. Handles very well and tracks hard in the turns. Still fine tuning but almost tempted to leave it where it is as it flys so well. Props in the photo have been changed to the dal 5045c. The RK 5046 props fly well but does not suit my flying style.

Hi, very nice build, the FC and the ESCs are connected by the pins? Or wires? I mean the Merica is supposed to have the ESCs on the bottom and FC in the canopy that's why im asking. Thanks

Thx. I removed the pins from the FC and used the wires. The carbon top plate sits just over the female socket for the 4in1, so its not possible to use.

Thank you very much, great help and build. All the best bud.

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