Awesome frame and build.

So... what battery do you use? what is the final weight and how long are your fast acro flights?

Yeah I went with the little guy for my first build so that I wouldn't be so nervous about flying it in parks and such where people might be annoyed. It's far less intrusive. Plus with the props off I can slip it into just about any tiny little pouch in my bag.
If you do decide to go with a tadpole definitely don't go bigger than 12xx or 13xx motors at the most. I saw some guys on here with 14xx motors which I almost ordered and I'm glad I didn't. These 1204 5000kv are plenty powerful for me, and I just think 14xx would be way too much weight out on these little arms. The whole point of the tadpole is to be light!

Damn...already starting to plan my build now! So in terms of "less intrusive", is it much quieter than a 5"? I only have two quads, both are 5" and pretty loud - would love something a little quieter, especially to fly at the house so I don't bother my neighbors too much - although so far they think my quads are cool and don't think the noise has bothered them.

Future mod after I get it a little more tuned in. Right now the cockpit lights up inside with a stock LED, can't see it in the sun but when its dark you can see the inside the cockpit.

Thanks Jody. Agree, i would get about 16g weight savings going to that Diatone frame and enough to improve the thrust to weigh ratio. However, i would rather just go with all new components with that frame and focus on the lightest options. i actually started converting my whoops into light, nimble and quick toothpicks and should be posting a 2", 2S 85mm toothpick frame with 803 motors and 5A F4/ESC AIO board weighing 55g soon.

The esc looking parts are just race wire just to look fancy mostly. Sadly I had an issue with horrible video noise on this build and it's just been sitting on the shelf since probably wont update with a video since most people seem to be doing fine don't want to be unfair sorry .

they have some serious thrust when paired with ethix s5 or Gemfan Hurricane 51433!! the hurricane's give a bit more control and speed. Ive also tried ethix s3, but they just don't have that bite on corners or thrust when punching out. My Glide is at 710g AUW with Tattu R-Line 1300mah

Thank you!

Im using a nano-tech 4s 1300mah. not sure what the weight is cause my wife broke my scale.... but I get 3:30-4:00 of fairly moderate acro. 5 easy if Im just cruising around. These motors are unbelievably efficient compared to most of the rest of my fleet.

I met same problem too. And got better with this approach. If u fly with Angle Mode(Auto Level Mode) , try to lower "Strength" in BF.

208 gr. without battery

Thank you! Does it have good power? Are you able to recover from dives?

thank you very much 😊👍
I tried to keep everything simple and minimalistic.

Its only available as a custom order. Quite difficult to build

email us on our website and we can get you a price if interested

5.5 inch prop capable, 306g without battery.

Good point. I put these 25 mm long metal screws in because I had them at hand. Ultimately, they will be 20 mm long nylon, which should also reduce the weight of the drone by about 1 gram.

For my current setup it has plenty of power even while carrying a GoPro 7. Keep in mind, I plan to use this quad to record cinematic videos, so I am not expecting the same power as a freestyle quad. I have not tried different size motors because I did not feel the need to. However, with these new 5 blade props being released, I wonder if I could benefit from these if I has more powerful motors to turn them. The only reason why I would consider these 5 blade props, is to reduces the amount of noise.

thx for that info
my taycan works great on xing 1507, got some power
other motors no experience
