Description
The Mini 1S R1 is a high-efficiency 1S micro quadcopter designed for pilots who value flight time without sacrificing the "locked-in" feel. Thanks to its lightweight organic frame and a high-capacity 18650 power source, this build pushes the boundaries of what 1S FPV can do, achieving incredible 15–20 minute flight times.
The frame is designed specifically for PA12-CF (Carbon Fiber Nylon), providing the perfect balance of rigidity, impact resistance, and weight savings.
