This is my daily flyer.

Custom sub-50g freestyle micro, designed to replicate a 5" top mounted battery layout and flight characteristics.

Best flown with a 350-400mah 2S Battery due to space limitations. Anything bigger has to be underslung and retuned.

Frame designed for 1103 - 1106 motors (8.5-9mm mounting pattern).

Requires 4x 15mm nylon standoffs & 8x 6mm m3 nylon bolts.

Supports up to 3" props (with alternative 3D Printed pod design). 2.5" (65mm) prop size max with carbon canopy.

Femto FC mounted with foam tape, but the frame supports 16-20mm FC standoffs as well as standard 30.5mm for the lols.

Motors are soft mounted with bicycle inner tube rubber. Same material used for the battery slip pad.

RX and VTX antennas are custom cut from 1.13mm IPEX coax cable, routed through the plastic straw from behind the LED panel to route them away from the carbon cage.

Range could be greatly improved with an XM+ receiver. Then 2.4 will outrange the video on a 25mW whip VTX, but there's no space for a CP.
