3" 2-3s Pusher
#1
I actually built this a little while back but never made a build thread about it. Whistling 

Here are the parts used:
Frame - GEPRC Phantom 2.5" Micro Frame - 13.7g
Motors - BETAFPV 1204 5000KV Brushless Motor - 5.9g ea
Props - HQ Prop T3x2.5x3 Durable Tri-Blade 3" Prop - 1.35g ea
FC - iFlight SucceX Micro F4 V2.1 16x16 Stack/Combo (F4 FC, 15A 4in1 ESC, 25-200mW VTX) w/Plugs - 7.7g
RX - FrSky R-XSR 2.4GHz Micro Receiver - 1.5g
VTX Antenna - Lumenier Micro AXII 5.8GHz U.FL (RHCP) - 2g
Camera - RunCam Split 4 Whoop 14x14 FPV / 4K HD Camera/DVR - 10.2g
Prop Guards - HSKRC 3 Inch / 3.1 Inch Propeller Guard - 3.8g set

Weight W/O Battery - 67.9g
With the board cover, foam blocks ect, I would probably add a couple few grams to that.

The Phantom frame has mounts for both a stack and a whoop size board. That gave me the idea to add the Runcam Split 4 underneath and protect it with a cover. The board is actually recessed about 1/2 inch from the prop guards so I'm hoping it will be rather unlikely that it will take a hit. I used the top from a BetaFPV parts box for the cover.

During the first flights I noticed a massive amount of jello. I guessed it was coming from the prop guards not connected to each other and vibrating. Thats when I came up with the idea of cutting foam blocks and inserting them in between the prop guards. I put a layer of hot glue across the foam blocks and ducts to hold them in place and add a little rigidity. Night and day difference on the next flights. I still get a little jello now and then but think it might be from lack of tuning. I am using the tune that came with the stack as I have no idea on how to tune a quad...

The prop guards seem rather brittle so I have been very careful flying it as not to crash as I think crashing it will snap a guard quite easily. It was made for cinematic flying so I haven't taken any chances with it yet and knock on wood, have not had a crash yet. I only land on smooth surfaces which is why it still looks so clean after quite a few flights...

I love the foam blocks and the cover- creative, perfect solutions.

One of these days I’m gonna have to finally build a pusher.
Dangerous operations.

Disclaimer: I don’t know wtf I’m talking about.
I wish I could get the smell of burnt electronics out of my nose.

Hi Brett,

Very Good Looking.   Cool Cool GOOD JOB     Thumbs Up   

In my opinion, this is the best and quickest method to make a GEPRC Phantom
a 3 inch quad. SWEET.

nice pusher :-)

if you didnt try already, give it a try with bottom mounted battery for best center of gravity around the propsurface, for best flightperformance, benefical about physics and tuning.
