Ty-3462

Introduction:

I was interested in seeing how a ultra lightweight 4" would handle.

Components:

  • Tyro 79 frame with LDARC ET120 canopy
  • LDARC 1304 6200kv motors
  • LDARC 3.8" props
  • Geprc 12A AIO board
  • Runcam Nano 2 (LDARC ET120 camera)
  • Happymodel Whoop vtx
  • Frsky xm+ receiver

Conclusion

At 90g, this felt very floaty in the air, probably more than I would like. Unfortunately, the camera mount got destroyed in the first couple of flights, so I'll rebuild this for sure to make it more durable.

Update 11/16/19 - too many projects on the bench, but finally rebuilt this. Same weight, but used a canopy from a burnt quad. Burn stains are still there. :) It was a tight fit. Had to trim away most of the canopy and it clears the props by mere milimeters on all sides. Updated the antenna placement as well to prevent dropouts.
