Micro Falcon

This is a rebuild of a micro quad I used last winter that I wasn't really happy with. I upgraded a few parts, swapped to lighter batteries, and ditched the 3d printed prop protector on the PikoOwl and it is a good deal lighter and more agile now, and it flies pretty great! It still struggles with prop-wash a bit, as the motors are a bit low torque for the prop size I'm using, but it's totally serviceable, especially for indoor flying. Currently it's right at 70g with battery.

Mar 04, 2021

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone!
