Sailfly X

Introduction:

The sailfly x is a great value and I bought quite a few of them to use as parts.

Components:

  • Sailfly x parts
  • Buzzer
  • Betafpv canopy (reinforced with goop & fiberglass drywall tape)

Conclusion:

This was my first sailfly and instead of flying it right away, I decided to remove the canopy as it weighed 4 grams by itself.

Update 6/19/19 - after destroying all the electronics on another sailfly with a head on crash into a tree, I decided to update this with a canopy. Wanting to keep it lightweight but strong, I added a betafpv canopy which was strengthened with goop on the inside which was 2 grams. Overall, the quad came out to 36g, which is still lighter than original.
