This is very interesting, I didn't think a 5" quad was possible under 250g. My 5S batteries are 170g so . . yeah, this is cool. I live in the USA and a recent lawsuit (Taylor vs FAA) nullified the restrictions for registration for now, but this is good to know. This quad looks a little fragile :) so I am curious how it holds up to flights over time. A video would rock!
Hi mate,
It looks fragile, everyone who has seen photos says that, but the arms are 5mm, they have less flex than many of my normal 5 inch quads, on the whole it is very strong, although crashes will tell :), camera is more exposed than I would like, but largely protected by the arms
Will be testing various different lipos and props, as well as switching to the 2800kv motors at some point for testing, try and find the sweet spot for flight time and performance, will upload some flight footage during testing
