The illustrious LAZD worked with me to make some modifications to his new Featherlite 4" to accommodate the new 1608 T2 motors. I had two goals, more power than my aging 5" builds, and ability to do that while carrying a GoPro and 1300mah lipo... Yeh I know I'm insane.

This was the result, and it is exactly what I had hoped for. Flies like a dream, smooth and powerful. My next revision will incorporate a custom pod to house a 30.5x30.5 stack and the Runcam Split, but that's to come later.

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.
