Armattan Rooster 5"
By jedimasterben on Jan 20, 2018
The Rooster is finally shipping! Going to be using Oomph 2306 Titans, which should give a lot more power than the 2206 Oomph Velvets I use now on my Chameleon.
2/23/2018 - Have changed the camera to a Runcam Sparrow (its light handling is a bit better than the Monster v2 and was on a big sale) and the antenna plate to a TPU mount made by BMC3D.
1/20/2018 - Rooster finally arrived! Got it all together last night and maidened it this morning. She is tubby at over 400 grams dry weight, but the Titan Oomphs and Gemfan 5152 make for a rocket. This thing is so much faster than my Chameleon with Velvet Oomphs and the same props, it's crazy.

Any arm slop without the braces?
How far does the MMCX connector stick "out there" on the FCHUB-VTX? I plan to orient mine in the same direction but I'm concerned it may be too exposed - I'm a new pilot.

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..

Do you have a picture of the Lipo wires connection to the VTX PDB at the rear brace. Does it clear everything ok or did you have to modify anything?
I just added another photo showing it. I have moved to a BMC3D printed antenna mount, but my lipo wire still runs through the bottom of the base plate.
