Hi Green,
Boy you sure are a great builder. You understand everything that goes into it and you throw color combo's and cool wiring protection in as well. Just wondering why you choose birds that are so small? Must be flight time...yes? I really appreciate all the photos and descriptions,thought processes and strategies that you post. I am waiting on all the parts for my FIRST build.YES MY FIRST BUILD! The frame is the ANOMALLY STRYDER for connex. If you see a large puff of smoke to the north don't worry its just me smoking electronics
Great stuff green

Hey, thanks Keith. I am surprised that I like these little guys so much too. Basically, I am building another 3" because I have barely touched my 230mm 5" since I built my first 3" Predatior X. I didn't think it would go that way, but here I am. So how did this happen to me?
1. The power to weight ratio is incredible. My first 3" came in at 6:1 power to weight on 3S. Hoping to beat that with the new build on 4S.
2. The batteries are cheaper. The Pulse ones I get can charge at 5C. I can charge 5 packs in 20 min.
3. It's easier to find a place to fly. This is a biggie. Means I can just walk out back and fly.
4. It is much quieter to fly. Nobody will even know, much less complain about backyard flying.
5. It is less intimidating and nerve racking to fly. I'm not worried about damaging property or injuring someone.
I'm sure there are more benefits but those are the main ones for me. Although you probably could get long flight times with a bigger battery, I am going for ultra fast performance on this one. My old 3S predator gets 3-5 minutes flight time depending on how hard you fly it.
