I have a small backyard, too small for a regular mini-quad, but not for a micro. Few weeks ago a buddy put together a Shrieker with a similar setup as below and let me take the sticks for a minute, it was a riot and I knew I will be building one soon. Another friend had an extra Shrieker frame he was not planning on building so I did not hesitate. Here is the parts list:

Build

• Frame: Shrieker 130 from Shendrones with a 3D printer bumper kit
  
• PDB: MXK Power Distribution Board PDB with OSD
  
• Flight Controller: SPRacingF3 with Betaflight 2.7.0 running on 2KHz
  
• Motors: RCX H1407 3800kv
  
• ESCs: DYS XM 10A (Damped Light and Oneshot enabled)
  
• Radio: FrSky XSR (sbus)
  

FPV

• Video TX: Eachine ET600 5.8GHz
  
• FPV Camera: Pyro Drone 1/3 Sony Super HAD II CCD 650 tvl IR Sensitive
  
• OSD: MinimOSD with MultiWii firmware
  

Misc

1. Battery: 3S TATTU 75C 1300mAh
   
2. Propellers: T3045BN DAL tri blades
   

Tune: LuxFloat PID Controller – defaults for Betaflight 2.7.0

Putting everything together was a challenge. There is very little room on the frame and the arms are short. There was no way I could solder the motor wires directly on the ESCs so I looped them underneath. All in all, it came together and was relatively clean.

The PDB + OSD combo was great, perfect for this build. For bigger builds, I'd be concerned about the 30A max per ESC channel, but for a micro or more casual mini - that is plenty. The ESCs flashed to BLHeli 14.4 with no problems via FC passthrough. Using a standard hs1177 FPV camera is a big plus IMO, it makes the flying experience a lot closer to a regular quad.

Overall the quad turned a bit heavier than expected, the motors and camera probably contributed - right around 200g without battery. The RCX motors do a fantastic job of keeping it in the air and nimble however.

I was too excited, so I did not take any mid-build pictures, just this one of the general fit:


The rest are some promo shots, I generally take of all my finished builds:
 
 

The quad flew pretty good on the first maiden LOS, so I decided to put on the googles. Forgetting I max-tilted the camera during build, this little thing sprung with such speed, I almost lost control. The next few minutes of flight were pure joy, despite the heavy 1300mAh TATTU 3S.

This thing is awesome. Love these small builds

Great build.. Isn't the 1300mah a bit heavy for this size? I see a lot of people run 800mah even 450 mah on theirs

What flight time do you get ?

Awesome build! The white bumpers look ace! At some point I wanna try a minimalist frame like this but I need to work on my builder fu somewhat first

Sorry for the late reply, had not check the thread in a bit. Yeah the 1300mah is heavy but its the smallest I had. I ordered an 800mah but it came with a XT30 connector that I have to replace at some point. I want to try a lighter battery and see if I can fit a Runcam HD on it.

I get around 4-5 minutes of flight (fun) time.
 
Unfortunately the OSD did not last. 5-6 flights and it stopped responding, could not be reflashed or recovered in any way I tried so I bypassed it, so the PDB was a bit disappointing from that perspective.

Very nice..great job....Just a heads up for you..a real shady looking bloke is hiding on your back patio

I've seen that guy, kind of heavy set, big gnarly beard, shows up on my security cameras all the time. I think he might be sleeping with my wife too! As long as he does a chore or two around the house so I can go fly more, we are cool.

LMAO..a win win then.

Awesome build!. Oh man.. I miss my diatone 160 grasshopper

Awesome, I have little 130 3D printed frame and it sucks

Nice work Jordan...flying AND building!!

Yeah, those MXK boards are garbage. Does anybody knows something similiar that actually works? I have read that Matek is making PDB with OSD, but can't find it now.
