Brushed MicroQuad

thingiverse

I bought a Propel Star Wars drone (Tie Fighter) but one of the motors started to fail and it wouldn't lift off anymore. So, I ordered some 1020 motors from Banggood (link below), but I wasn't really comfortable with their design, where the motors are located below and exposed to crashes. I began searching for ideas about a drone using 1020 motors, but all I found were models with 8520 motors, so I based my design on the "Foldable Brushed Microquad" and made some modifications. The specifications of the Tie Fighter batteries are 3.7V@850mAh, but I think a higher capacity battery is required because the VideoTX drains a lot of power. I'll try using 1200mAh batteries or replacing the 200mW VTX. The printed frame weighs about 20 grams, and the assembled drone without batteries weighs around 55 grams. Two variants of the STL files are included: one with and one without flight controller supports. I used the camera mount for the Eachine TX02 created by murrayp0473 (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2094946). The FC board I'm using is the Eachine AIOF3_BRUSHED.
