Overall very pleased with how this build turned out. Its by far the best flying 4” in my fleet. Only thing I would have done different was go for the 7075 al motors. I’ve bent two of the 6061 bells.

check out whiffles bannilite build on this site. he does a much better job of showing how to build one than I can, and that frame construction is very similar to the featherlight series. good luck!

Hey could you update on how you did your antenna mounting there? I am trying to do something similar with a true rx axii ufl
