THIS IS A 65mm MICRO WITH 40mm PROPS THAT WEIGHS 21g AWG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Back in the day when Tiny Whoops hit the market the average weight was around 21-22g with brushed motors and 31mm props.
It's crazy to think in just a few years we can now build what feels almost like a full size quad with 40mm props and brushless motors in a micro form factor at the same weight for indoor flying/racing.
Remixed with one of my own designs to create the whoop that finally feels like a full size quad indoors. Very strong 4g Nylon Carbon WHOOP FRAME. The Mobula7 frame weighed in at 5+g for comparison.
The frame Should be printed with NylonX (Carbon Fiber), it's the strongest filament and has the best characteristics for quad frames. The battery holder was printed with TPU.
DRY YOUR FILAMENT BEFORE PRINTING!
The frame and canopy were printed with 1 single outline and partial infill with two processes in Simplify3D. The factory files are included in the downloads.
PARTS LIST:
Tiny Whoop 0803 19000kv motors 8g
BetaFPV New F4 Flight controller (with power whip) 3g
RKH 40mm 3 Blade Props Clear 1mm shaft 2.5g
BetaFPV M01 AIO Camera 5.8G VTX (Smart Audio) 3g
TPU Battery Holder, M2 and M1.4 Nylon Plastic Hardware 1g
Nylon M1.4-4 motor screws (see pic) https://solidspot.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=143_216_310_333&products_id=22160
Hardware:
4xM2x7mm for the prop guard
2xM2x4mm for the battery holder
2xM1.4 for the VTX
12xM1.4 for the motors
MY FINAL WEIGHT IS 21.5g AWG!! Remove the motor wiring harnesses (hardwire to the FC) and antenna shield for 21g strait up. I chose to keep the motor harnesses for easy maintenance and the antenna shield for better reception.
The canopy if added for extra protection will only add 0.4g.
