I'm stoaked to see the 04 update on this bad boi, I saw you started with the 2". I would have to, gotta get it in the daily driver and start flying. I would love to see DVR from the alps, that's so cool!
Half a year of anticipation makes it so satisfying

What is the dry weight?

Super nice build, great choices. Great time to get into things, that is so light, with such good video. Batteries are so cheap!

I seems really cool, I like the drone, you did a cool thing. I want to build one for myself now. May be you could fly with it all over the world.

Hi!
What's your impression of its flight performance? Also, what are the approximate average and maximum flight times (depending on the battery)?
Thank you

Bataflight config?

Flight time?

Could you recove parts of the frame to remove the obstruction of the fans?

Very nice! what's the throttle hover %?
I have 19000kv 1002 motors with 1s and I'd like to put them with 2s. Do you think is possible using them 2s with a throttle cup?
thanks!

I was very encouraged to find this site. The reason being that this is such an informative post. Thanks for sharing, play candy clicker 2 game online free

Prop obstruction is going to be an issue no matter which way you do it at this size. My little 46mm quad actually has as little as possible but its still less efficient than a regular 65mm whoop.

As for aerodynamics, its actually the other way around, at least that is the info i can find online. Air under the prop is dirty already so obstructing it more wont have as much of an effect as obstructing it on the "clean" side. But it should be fairly easy to confirm this on your build, just check the hover current, flip the props and remap motors/flip gyro in betaflight and check the hover current flying the other way around (my quad doesnt run bluejay, or have a current meter...) . You can just hover it LOS because the camera will be upside down lol

Do you find the 3800kv plenty powerful for freestyle? I am planning a build similar to this but can't decide between 3800kv or 4600kv. It'll mostly be for cinematic and long range purposes, but would be nice to freestyle as well.

What a time, indeed!!!!
38 grams, digital, brushless, ELRS. WIld. Actually looks decently durable. I have been flying my 4" 4s on 03 around the house/yard, and the video is amazing but it's too fast sometimes, this looks perfect. You may have just planned my next build for me!

i really love this build and frame. Can i ask why not use 1202.5 motors instead of 1103s? is it based mostly on amp draw? as when i was spec'ing motors it seems that 1103 T motor and 1202.5 11000kv motors where similar in weight. Really love your builds!

stupid question, where are you hiding the VTX? I'd love to get the Bot5 frame one day ngl

how hard are you racing? lol
in my experience, 7500-8000kv is 2s territory. any race footage?

I've been designing something extremely similar to this. I've decided to make it 46mm so I can try to fit some ducts in somehow. Can you post any flight footage?

Nice build, never tried 6s on 2.5. And yes fully agree with you on the 2.5-3 vs 5ers

I really like this format. I plan to try it this year in the O4 lite version.
Is there a major difference between 2" and 2.5"?
I find the YZMFPV lightning 2" not bad too but I have the impression that it is not made for the same type of flight.
What is the maximum battery size to fly as long as possible without degrading performance too much?
Thanks!

What motor KV did you go
