Before I try any pusher whoops this small I wanted to see how the performance and flight time was as a regular whoop.
The walksnail vtx was de-cased and the heatsink from the main IC removed. The minimalist canopy is surprisingly good with stable, non-jello footage. Printed in tpu and then cleaned up a bit 'cause my entry level printer is a bit sh1t. The u.fl connectors of the FC (elrs) and vtx both align with each other so there is some double-sided foam tape in between keeping them secure and open circuit. Vtx antenna is just a generic dipole I got off aliexpress.
The FC is packed with a lot of stuff for a 5A "cross" aio, including an elrs receiver with its' own external antenna. The vtx is attached to UART2 and power direct off the battery pads.
The betafpv motors came with those peek screws so I used them for the first time. Gains. The bt2.0 plug is soldered at an angle with just enough cable length necessary for the battery to sit centre frame.
Clocking in at 24 grams. Crappy scales though, so you know, prolly 24 grames. The pic says 24g so that's what I'm going to claim.
So far so good, it rips around the room well and is tight in the corners. I run the vtx at 25mw and that is fine for now. I will try to take some footage tomorrow. Getting 2 mins useable flight time on the tattus 300mAh folded.
