Flying Squirrel

This is just a simple mini 160 Quadcopter frame kit. Electronics are exactly the same as JAQUES 350 Quadcopter. Props are: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/4x4inches-4-blade-black.html?___store=en_us I fly it using a 2S 800mAh or 1000mAh battery to keep weight down. With smaller motors and more compact electronics, flight time could be greatly improved. It is about five minutes with the 1000mAh battery. Edit 03/02/2019: Added a lighter weight version (MiniQuadV5) of the base plate for a smaller electronics stack. I used this ESC in a 20x20 hole pattern: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079FPT69X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Since the ESC doesn't have a built-in BEC, I have used one of these on hand: https://www.amazon.com/Ship-Hobbywing-Switch-mode-UBEC-Lowest/dp/B008ZNWOYY/ref=sr_1_12?keywords=BEC&qid=1551551031&s=toys-and-games&sr=1-12 Install this ESC first with the nylon standoffs it comes with. Then install the OpenPilot CC3D over it with M3 nylon standoffs. I cut the wires from the motors and soldered them directly to the ESC to save some more weight. I also added a Battery Holder that snaps under the frame and between the skid. Print the battery holder with 100% infill.
