Description
WIP 4inch dead cat FPV drone. additional parts will be published as I make revisions
This is an ongoing project to build a 4s Li Ion LR cruiser. Publishing the parts as of June 2022. Based on the success I had with the 3inch Microbeast. This project started off as a 2s version of rekon3 using a 4inch frame. However after being unable to get the build under 250g AUW I threw out the idea of 2s LiIon and went 4s.
base plate stiffens the build. in this version it is mostly held together in the fuselage with M2 hardware, and fused with acetone on the arms and head. I would love to see a make using just the base plate cut in carbon
Im still struggling with vibrations, especially when trying to fly this using a lighter 4s Lipo
additional items used (you cant print these, but you can give it a try):
25x25 AIO FC/ESC
mini FPV camera (not micro or nano unless you want to build spacers)
M2 Male Female Hex Brass Spacer Standoff
