TeenyGenie 1s quadcopter

My version of the PepperF1sh 1s quadcopter. I love the micro-quadcopter but was tired of constantly replacing brushed motors. Wanted to try a tiny brushless model and discovered the PepperF1sh (http://fishpepper.de/projects/pepperf1sh/). Went through the process of researching, designing and finally building my own version of this micro-brushless quad. So far I am in love, has good flight characteristics out of the box and flies plenty fast for my beginner skills.

I tried a sbus receiver, but it was just a little too big for the build. the Irange fits between the standoffs and the two boards, just perfectly. https://www.banggood.com/IRangX-Tiny-2_4G-6CH-Flysk-Receiver-Compatible-with-Flysky-PPM-Output-for-Eachine-QX80-QX90-QX95-p-1089802.html?p=X709229380619201703O Also Needed: Nylon M2 Screws and Standoffs (I used 20mm screws and 4mm standoff and nuts) 20mm screws https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-sale-50pcs-Black-White-Plastic-Nylon-M2-Round-Pan-Phillips-Head-Screw-BoltTo/122693757058?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=423104552326&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Standoffs https://www.banggood.com/120Pcs-White-M2-Nylon-Hex-Spacers-Screw-Nut-Assortment-Kit-p-1066965.html?p=X709229380619201703O
