Whoop or 210ish?
#1
I am considering adding another quad to my growing fleet. Smile Should I get a 210ish quad like a alien/martian, or should I get a tiny whoop. I haven't made a whoop yet, and I was wondering if its thrust and ability to recover from manuvers was comparable to a 3 or 4s quad. Any thoughts Huh  Thanks!

Not at all comparable. That is completely different kind of fun Smile
Find me on Youtube and Instagram. I currently fly: DRC Aura, NOX5R, Minimalist 112 and drive a scrap RC car

Jesse Perkins is Tiny Whoop. In this video they talk about the differences in how they fly against a larger craft.

A good comparison would be a go cart to a formula 1 car. Both fun, but totally different class.

Thanks for all the quick replies! I think I might get the whoop, so that I can fly it around my high school. Trying to fly a 210 in a classroom is like trying to drive a car through a house (not that I've ever tried it myself) Big Grin Plus, a whoop has simpler components, with less parts, so repairs would be cheaper, and less things could go wrong. Also, a whoop is much more portable, it has less mass so it is less likely to break, and can be flown practically anywhere. On the other hand, a 210ish size racing quad would be great if I had more time to fly and Washington's weather was more cooperative Smile But this is just based on my limited research and even more limited experience in quads. "Less stuff" = less problems. Less problems = less money spent on repairs. Less $ spent = more $ to get "less stuff". And the process repeats Big Grin

I am in love with my whoops and fly them all the time in my home. They are ok outside too as long as there is no wind. I started with a prebuilt (Eachine E010S) and then got an X-Racer X1. I have since built a few of them and they are really fun to fly! They are a world apart from KT-125 or KT-210 though.

Thanks! I tried mounting an FPV cam + Vtx on my E010, but it couldn't take the weight. I had like 10 seconds of it hovering, and then it just flopped to the ground! Took it off, and flew fine. I didn't know ~3 grams could make such a big difference! Did it work fine for you? I might just have old motors or something like that. Is the E010 better or the Inductrix better? (Better as in flight time, punch outs, quality, etc)

The E010S I have will fly for about 2.5 minutes on my RDQ 210mah cells.  The camera is a EF02 and it works great!  The "S" version comes with the camera installed and costs about $50.  I bought the FrSky version, but they have a FlySky and DSM version as well.

Mine is updated to BF 3.2 and it flies great!  I also changed the pigtail so I could use standard Inductrix style batteries.  Also have "hot" motors from Lumeneir installed.

On paper I think the E010S is probably the best bang-for-buck 'true' (65mm ducted chassis, 0615 brushed motor) whoop available, the Tiny7 and cheerson CX95S are slightly bigger and use 0720 size motors with 40mm (as opposed to 31mm) props. The cheerson stats claim speeds of 65kph, and the Tiny7 I have is no slouch either, the cheerson frame doesn't have the resilience of the Tiny7 though. Standard ~65mm whoops are prone to getting 'swamped' by large areas, they just don't have the speed to maintain excitement outside. 

These 75mm options are much more fun to fly outdoors, being faster and  less effected by wind, I think the weight might have as much to do with this as the aerodynamic canopy. Surprisingly I find the additional speed is actually more of a hindrance, than the extra 10mm in chassis size, when flying proximity indoors, but I reckon the main reason for this is that I'm not a good pilot! If it is purely for indoor use go for an E010S, if you have a garden that is not viable for your 210, the Tiny7 will serve you well when the weather improves. Realistically I think a whoop is all about the change in perspective that it gives you for your everyday environment, all of a sudden you start to look at your house and garden with a completely different eye. Have fun!
