Strider

Introduction:

The purpose of this was to be a test bed for different motors and props. Weight was not the dominant factor.

Components:

  • Rakonheli frame for Torrent 110
  • Teeny F4 Pro FC + 5a ESC 1-2s
  • Racerstar 1103 10000kv motors
  • 3020 props
  • Frsky xm+ receiver
  • VTX03S
  • Caddx EOS2
  • Buzzer

Conclusion:

Coming in at 50g dry, it was about 5g heavier than what I wanted, but there was really no way to cut anymore weight using the components that I ended up choosing. A quick indoor test showed it was able to fly on 1 & 2s.

Update 1/28/19: So it fried an ESC on the first flight after a low impact crash with some shrubs. Really not sure how it could have done it. Upon replacing the ESC, I ran into some shorts and decided to put a hold onth
