FastForward

Micro quad designed around micro skycam, spektrum va1100 camera module. Quad sits at a steady 15 degree angle when in forward flight, with camera and cargo platform level. Print out the separate components - frame and cargo plate - not the assembled version, that's just for reference purposes. To assemble, use three rubber bands: two to secure the cargo plate to the frame, one to hold the flight controller in place. Adjust the frame's rubber band tension so that the top of the cargo plate is flush with the front motors. Use both tenergy 350 1S and mylipo.de 450 1S batteries - the rearmost two rubber bands will keep them securely in place. The battery should be positioned close to the rear of the cargo plate for optimal balance. Separate SCAD files are available on github.com/hagleitn/fast_forward. Update May 9th: After test flying with the original frame (v3, 11cm), I decided to build a slightly larger version with an even more pronounced angle (20deg, 13cm). The new frame is sturdier and has fewer vibrations in flight - it still zips around pretty smoothly!
