Somehow acquired a new quad on Sunday (always need n+1)
Bought it off someone who uses crossfire, and won it at Tinywhoop competitions, so got a good price Actually turns out is my first 65mm quad too (UK Tinywhoop competitions here I come!). After a little struggle with binding (SPI ELRS isnāt as easy as UART connected), but updated to latest 4.3 and all good in the end. A few strange things happen at times (will do a separate video at some point), but overall quite pleased how well it and I flew on about 4 or 5 batteries. Seems a great little quad TBH!
Hereās some cut down footage from it (still need to get the OSD sorted, and name changed)
Just donāt upgrade your TX to ELRS 3.0ā¦ theyāre dropping support for SPI RXā¦ I guess you could add an EP2 (or smaller) to the quad and go with UART instead.
Is that your work? Looks like a good area to fly a tiny quad!
Yeah seen all that, annoying they removing it when quite a few coming with it now, and donāt want a V2 and a V3 TX (though maybe a new 1W TX isnāt a bad call for V3). Donāt want to add any weight to the quad really, the bigger batteries (which donāt fit in BTW, these BT2 batteries it comes with (what a lucky coincidence I used 20 BT2 connectors last week to upgrade all my old ones) are smaller than the usual onesā¦ Annoying!) So will need to order some of the thinner BetaFPV BT2.0 onesā¦ ergh. wonder what size the nectares areā¦
Yeahā¦ Out of hours quiet estate, was quite good fun, though had forgotten the āpondā as I flew over and saw it, then a pigeon appeared, heart went into mouth a little, lol. Think the babyhawk might come here with me next time Iām down here, as we tend to stay late on a Tuesday eveningā¦ Instead of running I thoughtā¦ oooohhh letās bind and test this baby
Check out the Cockroach frame from newbeedrone, they might have the 65mm version (I got the 75) . You can ditch the battery bay alltogether and just use a rubber band to secure the battery, this way youāre not limited by the battery dimensionsā¦
Also, if Iām not mistaken, the meteor65/75 have the same parts, the only difference is the frame and props, so if you ever wanted, you could up the size a bitā¦
