micros are crazy fast and nice in performance, 5inch as the best is a myth, peoples like jb does still care this myth in the community.
carry the momentum makes the handling more forgiving, less agile, its more easy to stear a 5inch than a powerfull micro.
5inch can provide more efficiency on high speed and higher topend, a micro wont be able to fly 60mph for a minute, throw limitation of tiny batteries quality.
what motors and esc do you use?
you might need to try a 3s 300mah battery to get into the more crazy micro performance :-)
The momentum stuff was one of the things that surprised me. The slingshot and throws that we do on the 5'' is great, it feels good and smooth but I guess you can mimick that with a micro if you don't cut the throtle like on 5'', is just a different type of flying.
What I noticed more is the pendulum effect. I have a tyro99 with bottom mounted battery and I don't notice it like on the toothpick, but again, I just put a couple of packs in it, maybe it's just a matter o getting used to the flying style.
In terms of speed, for me it's really enough, the toothpick is pretty agile and powerful like you said
It's still quiet, easy to carry, changing batteries, charging them and so on... logistically is also a bonus for me.
The quad is not a custom quad, is the Fullspeed Toothpick, it has the 1103 motors and I don't know what is the ESCs board.
Yeah, the batteries are not crazy on performance, just 2s 450mah ministar, but they seem to handle about 4 minute flight time really well.
Just waiting for 4 more of them. The next ones will be 3s just to try the power
The main disadvantage of the quad is of course the impossibility of carrying a HD camera, but that doesn't bother me.
