Locust 5"

thingiverse

The Locust 5" is a lightweight race-oriented quadcopter that packs a punch, weighing just 60g with necessary hardware and sporting a rugged design. Optimized for cheap production, durability and compatibility, the Loc5 has a size of about 200mm motor to motor and uses an outer 40mm hole spacing, making it widely compatible with many Shendrones pods. I prefer using the Skinny Screamer 40 degree pod with my Loc5. The STL file for the Skinny Screamer Pod can be found in the Loc5 thing files; however, it is not my design, so I take no credit for it. I have only uploaded this file to the Loc5 page because I am unable to locate and link to the original listing for the Skinny Screamer Pod on Thingiverse. The pictured Loc5 weighs 270g with props and no battery, but its weight could easily be decreased by using different pods, a micro camera or a 4in1 ESC.
