Finally more or less tuned the settings to be able to show off.
So here is a short video, almost hit the iPhone in the second part...
Notice how stable it is when I leave the sticks for few seconds, it just hangs at one place...
Thank you guys, amazing little board!



Frame from BlueSkyRc
Motors 10g 18-11 2000kv
ESC RCTimer 6A
Props GWS 3 blade 5x3
CopterControl board
2S 850mAh 47g LiPo
AUW is about 180g
Can even bring it down to 170g by removing Bluetooth and protective plate under the battery.

Nice work c2po. Just for completeness, what are your props?

[Spydmobile]

Very Cool c2po, but now I have ANOTHER mini frame to buy

I think I need to order up some parts from HK for one or two. Maybe cut my own lightply frame...

[c2po]

Forgot to mention the flighttime - in 5 minutes it consumed about 310mAh, so with 2S 850mAh I guess 10 minutes will be safe bet.
Average current is about 3.7-3.8A, so power is about 29W, not bad for efficiency.

[flitelab]

That's a pretty good flight time.

looks good c2Po, I love my micro quad too

[c2po]

Then post your stuff here too, may be we can enable few more micro quad fans!

[AlPackin]

Kewl looking quad, I still need to paint mine, or at least mark the front somehow, because soon I would also need to paint at least three walls...
Those long motors for sure don't tolerate any meetings with inanimate unmovable objects, I already had to rebalance two of them.
I wonder where to get some light compact motors around 2000kv, those dealextreme A1510 are quite heavy, 26g...

[rinatka7]

I am too mini quad fan!
This is my mini.

[c2po]

Yay, another tiny one! CC board is really nice for that kind of small things...

[gs4322]

Nice job c2po, I had problems with the same motors.

Did you had to balance the 3 props blades?

Thanks for sharing.

[elmuchacho]

Really nice micro quad c2po. I could read some of the motor need balancing however you managed a brilliant flight time with that setup. Thx for sharing and the feedback on the motor.

[David J]

Damn... I'm going to have to build one of those now!
