Introduction:

Getting a good deal on the motors, I wanted to try them out. I figured they would work well with 3" on 2s and 2.5" on 3s.

Components:

  • Crazybee F4 5a ESC (Sailfly x) Crazybee F4 (no receiver version)
  • 25mw AIO camera (Sailfly x) Eachine TX06 AIO camera
  • Frsky D8 receiver
  • Betafpv Canopy Sailfly canopy
  • Newt frame
  • HLY 1103 10000kv motors x4 (with Gemfan 3025 props)
  • Buzzer

Conclusion:

This came out to 44g dry, which was a lot higher than I wanted. This is mostly due to the motors though as the rest of it was pretty light weight. It turns out the motors are really good. Flying it back to back with the sailfly motors, these have much better control. The sailfly motors seem to have more speed whereas these seem much better suited for freestyling.

Update 6/25/19 - After 3 flights or so, motor 3 developed a dip during hard 180 yaws. I suspect it was a bad esc, so I pretty much had to rebuild the whole thing. I decided to try out the heavier canopy even though it weighs more just to see how it works out. Total dry weight now is 47.5g.

Update 7/18/19 - I broke the frame and camera over multiple crashes trying to learn some new tricks. Replaced with the same components.
