Quadcopter MF110 Drone

Small update v2. I experimented with thickness, increasing it to 3mm in v2. Additional support beams were added for the motor mounts. The center hole size was increased for the motors. The center mount configuration was changed to enhance compatibility. A 20x20 mount plate was added to secure a minimosd micro chip using zip-ties. A 30x30 mount plate was also added to attach another minimosd micro chip with zip-ties. I converted my setup to a push-quad, mounting the motors upside down. As a newcomer to the hobby, I aimed for an indoor FPV quad. Buying a "Ready to Fly" quad is possible, but I prefer building and designing parts and configurations to gain a deeper understanding of drone technology. The components I purchased were inexpensive, totaling around 100-110 euro. I picked the cheapest options available on BG unless I knew better quality was necessary. The frame supports 2.75-inch props; I bought 3-inch props and trimmed them down to 2.75 inches using a dremel setup. My maiden hover featured a heavy lipo (2s-2700mAh), as I had yet to receive the batteries (2s&3s lipos). Below is the list of components I used; if I were to redo it, I'd change a few items mainly the motors for better support with 3s lipos. The current ones should be okay but offer no guarantees. Flight controller: Betaflight1306 Motors: 4000KV (or for 3s use 3100KV) ESC: 4in1 FPV Camera FPV Transmitter 3045 props cut down to 2.75 inches 2S 850mAh lipo for "safe & slow" flights 3S 1000mAh lipo *not recommended, unofficially not supported by the motors Nylon standoffs: 35mm Nylon m3 screws Additional components needed include short nylon standoffs for the FC and ESC, some cables, etc. I plan to add a led-strip, OSD, buzzer, and battery-monitor. It's crucial to monitor your battery level; lipos don't handle "empty" well. The leds will be used primarily for safety, illuminating when armed. The OSD will display battery status while flying FPV, and the buzzer will help locate the drone when lost. Items not included in this list are goggles and RX/TX, which may cost another 100 euro depending on your requirements.
