200 Mini Quad (now w/ FPV)

thingiverse

I possess a fantastic miniature quadcopter model called the 200mm Prop to Prop mini. Its flying skills are absolutely remarkable and incredibly thrilling as it sustains about 10 minutes per battery, leaving me speechless every single time. Furthermore, its robust design can handle numerous crashes without sustaining any severe damage, which truly speaks volumes for its durability and reliability. Its average weight with the help of four 4-40 nylon screws is around 280 grams. Moreover, it has a controller spacing of precisely 45mm. Recently, I took my quadcopter to the next level by attaching an ultra-cool 28mm camera mount and an incredibly handy mini 200mw TX mount which enabled me to turn my humble little bird into not just an ordinary mini, but also a miniature FPV beast! **Additional Info** **Materials Required:** For building this extraordinary model of mine, I had to purchase the following key components. Frame - This part consisted of ten ABS plastic pieces in total and used 4-40 nylon screws which contributed around 46 grams to the overall weight. Simply put it together, secure it firmly with these 4-40 threads, print it, tap the holes into their designated slots and assemble every single side piece before tapping its corresponding screws, just that simple! Once you've installed each piece precisely with those 8 carefully placed threads and all eight are tightly fitted on both sides in conjunction to your chosen screw length then securely snap one end together by gently pulling it towards your center so everything locks into place neatly before printing off one last top & bottom. **Turnigy Plush 6A (2900kv) Motors**: As its name indicates, the motor features a higher RPM per second ratio making them super speedy while using very less amps, these were easily available from my go to retailer of choice; **www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/index.php**. Turnigy Plush 6A is an all-purpose quad motor capable of reaching speeds upwards of three times what can normally achieve so when it does get some speed that turns out great since its performance never seems slow down but rather increases constantly up to where one may expect much better results with lesser amp draws which indeed makes them stand ahead. The 1000mAh (25-50c) battery from Turnigy Nano-tech proved efficient during flights. The **8-channel controller** allowed seamless and reliable control of my FPV.
