Finally built my own tiny whoop. Always wanted an indoor quad for rainy days and after work flights. I work a later shift and it's usually dark time I get home. New motors are in the mailbox. Ran it on the stock motors with poor performance. Needed 100% throttle to even lift. Ended up burning out one of the motors. Some images are in post #5. Included some pics of AUW and weight you'll lose removing things. ---------------------- Admin Edits: Here are some useful Tiny Whoop resources: Build Logs and Tutorials https://oscarliang.com/building-tiny-whoop-micro-drone/ http://intofpv.com/t-whinytoop http://blog.matthew-evans.info/2016/04/2...arts-list/ http://flitetest.com/articles/tiny-whoop-build Reviews http://intofpv.com/t-my-inductrix Tiny Whoop Running Betaflight/Cleanflight https://oscarliang.com/tiny-whoop-betafl...eanflight/ FPV Ready Inductrix http://intofpv.com/t-fpv-inductrix-bnf-tiny-whoop 8.5mm motor Big "Tiny Whoop" http://intofpv.com/t-whoopee-micro-quad Posts: 195 Threads: 8 Likes Received: 86 in 54 posts Likes Given: 79 Joined: Aug 2016 Reputation: 6 I'm thinking about building one too, for the rainy days Have you tried using the imgur uploader feature for the photos? • Posts: 62 Threads: 12 Likes Received: 16 in 11 posts Likes Given: 12 Joined: Apr 2016 Reputation: 1 24-Aug-2016, 11:15 PM (This post was last modified: 25-Aug-2016, 01:29 AM by K24cl9.)

It's all the craze lol I will use imgur once I get the motors in. Didnt feel much need to post pics as they all look the same really.
Maybe the forum admins could consider a thread just for tiny whoop posts. Instead of us creating 10 posts all about the same quad. There isn't much of a 'build' to it.

Blade Inductrix BNF (LHS) Nanoforce 180mah Lipo (Amazon) Random 25mW cam/vtx combo (Amazon) Dx6i(Main tx for all RC) 6x15mm motors ( www.65drones.com) Motors are an absolute must with upgrades. Stock motors just cannot hold the cam and actually fly. Needs 100% throttle at all times and turns it just drops. Once I got the motors in it has been insanely fun! Impossible to put down the sticks. I need about 25-100 more batteries Flight times for me on the above batteries is about 2 mins. Only thing I see left is figuring out where I can save more weight. • Posts: 918 Threads: 83 Likes Received: 533 in 271 posts Likes Given: 498 Joined: Jan 2016 Reputation: 30 25-Aug-2016, 05:50 AM (This post was last modified: 25-Aug-2016, 05:51 AM by BigglesFPV.) I have flogged my Tiny whoop to death, gone through 3 sets of motors, 2 frames (3rd on the way)..and yet, not a single prop.. these tiny quads are super addictive. Sure they cost you about $149,375 to buy and maintain, but hey..can't put a price on all this insane indoor flying. Seriously though. These are not as cheap to buy and run as you may imagine..gets costly very quick. • Posts: 2,416 Threads: 51 Likes Received: 1,861 in 1,175 posts Likes Given: 3,315 Joined: Mar 2016 Reputation: 74 (24-Aug-2016, 11:15 PM)K24cl9 Wrote: Build one!

Hey K24cl9, How do you feel about using this thread as "a thread just for tiny whoop posts" (and builds, and videos, etc.)? It's got a pretty good title already. (Maybe Oscar would even sticky it if it becomes popular enough.) Anyway, I just finished my tiny whoop build and need to post it somewhere.... • Posts: 62 Threads: 12 Likes Received: 16 in 11 posts Likes Given: 12 Joined: Apr 2016 Reputation: 1 (25-Aug-2016, 11:07 AM)sloscotty Wrote: Hey K24cl9, How do you feel about using this thread as "a thread just for tiny whoop posts" (and builds, and videos, etc.)?

I don't have have lefthanded to test unfortunately. • Posts: 2,416 Threads: 51 Likes Received: 1,861 in 1,175 posts Likes Given: 3,315 Joined: Mar 2016 Reputation: 74 25-Aug-2016, 11:44 PM (This post was last modified: 25-Aug-2016, 11:45 PM by sloscotty.) Here's my Tiny Whoop build: Parts list: - Blade Inductrix BNF (Amazon) - Quanum Elite Cam VTx combo (Hobby King) - Camera mount ( http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1577959 ) - Lipos (Mylipo 205 and Nanoforce 180) - Upgrade motors (fast) I de-cased the camera (easy), removed the canopy (easy), installed the mount (easy), installed the camera and soldered the wires (medium), cut and re-installed the canopy (easy). I wanted to fly it right away, so I held off on swapping the motors. It flies OK for me for now, so I think I will wait until I burn out/wear out a motor to install the upgrade motors. I had to build this while waiting on parts to repair my 130 (shown with tiny whoop in last photo). I've only flown it in my office so far - gotta go sweep/vacuum dog hair before I take it through the rest of the house.
