I finally made a decision and ordered the Tomoquad Predator X frame and all the goodies to go inside. PredatorX Micro quad Race Frame

Green,

Are you going to use the PikoBLX FC and the 4-1 ESC's? Looks like a really cool build.

Hi Jerry,

I am gonna try out the Emax Femto FC, and a 10A 4in1 Cicada ESC. The femto is super tiny, I hope I can solder it up. Hard to find some micro stuff right now, the cicada wasnt really my first choice but looks good.

Already own a diatone 130mm crusader, waiting on sidewinder 8520 motors to complete a brushed micro including a brushed spracing f3 evo fc, qx90 frame and boldclash 25mw camera/tx. Ordered an ix5 iFlight kit last week, coming in today, hopefully not too late. The motors are 2500kv, the reviews on em are good so we'll see

Cool, I have a brushed 100mm micro with 720 motors. It is pretty fun, but my friend's 8520 one is noticeably faster.

I also have one I made with a hubsan fc but it's pretty best up....lol. learned to fly w/it. it was stablized flight only and wanted full acro so I'm building this one, gonna be a blast.

Btw Green, I'm in Mobile, if you are ever coming this way, look me up

VirtueViolater · Mar 22, 2017

Almost done

theGreenOrange · Mar 23, 2017

Those motors look awesome, and nice frame.

VirtueViolater · Mar 23, 2017

Thanks, I'm bushed. Didn't deliver till 8:30, I'll install vtx and camera tomorrow after work

VirtueViolater · Mar 23, 2017

Just realized this ix5 is a bit smaller than my x210. I bet this thing's going to be fast with these 2500 KV Motors

theGreenOrange · Mar 23, 2017

Got some DYS 3045 tri-blades and 5 of these 3S 450mAh 45C batteries. This thing should be ridiculous.

Awesome! I'm flying venom 50c, haven't puffed one yet

theGreenOrange · Mar 24, 2017

Parts are starting to arrive, these things are tiny!

Hey green and Jerry,
I bought the FrSky XSR 2.4ghz 16 channel ACCST receiver
S-bUS CPPM output...i read on Alofthobbies web site that this receiver cannot use aomway 5.8 4 leaf clover antennas because the antennas have to be soldered...do they mean that after the receiver is soldered i can use the aomway antenna?

Thank you kindly
Keith

The receivers for the controllers just use a little piece of straight wire that is built into the receiver (or two wire antennas for diversity). The cloverleaf ones go on the FPV video system TX and RX.
