I guess that a 3S - 4S, 750 - 850mAh battery is probably a good choice for this one? AFAIK, to avoid FAA registration it's the AUW including flight battery that must be under 250g? The 3S 75C 850mAh battery from Tattu weighs 85g which sadly brings the AUW of the VIFLY X150 to 259g... Even the 700mAh 3S 60C from Turnigy (@ 80g) is still bringing it to 254g AUW. I am in a similar boat, failing to come up with a sub 250g 4S 4" frame for the RunCam split...

Swapping it out for a AXII-MMCX would probably be enough. Then if you wanted to get crazy like me you could replace all the steel screws with titanium. Both my 5" are full titanium screws. Flying: Talon 6S 6" 2407s 381g no bat, Martian 3, 5" 2205s sooo heavy + gopro session 5 573g AUW, Aurora 5" 2205s 280g no bat, Druckbaer 3" 1404s 172g AUW 3S 550, BQE Megapixel 2.5" 1107s 139g AUW 3S 550, BabyHawk R 2.5" 164g AUW 3S 550 (stock except microeagle, CRSF, 2.5" arms) and maybe 3 more, for now...

The X150 used 4" props, which determine it's high speed. although the flight time test is just hovering, It is a great breakthrough. • |
