Toad 110 - Micro FPV Quad - (8.5mm Hubsan X4 Motors) by charlesgershom

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is a requested re-work of my Frog 100 frame. I've tweaked the size a little to allow bigger FC's such as naze32/afro32/cc3d to fit inside. I believe it would also fit beefs brushed FC, but I haven't got one to try.
**Added Updated Revision 3 Files. Tweaked some of the frame holes to strengthen some weak areas I found through aggressive testing :)
I've made a few of these for friends who want to learn about flying quads, cheap and fun. :)
When using a cleanflight based FC, I use my custom 6.2 Amp Brushed ESC's
Parts list:
Flight Controller + ESC or RTF Flight Controller
4 x 8.5mm Motors (Hubsan H107C A23)
200-500 Mah Lipo
M3 Hex Spacer 10-15mm *8
Optional Camera - either fpv or video
The camera on the image is a hubsan 2mp video camera cheapo clone. It's slung underneath and running off the same lipo as the motors + fc.
I also have a little stand alone Boscam CM205 with a 100mah I stick on top if i want FPV.
I have used a stripped down Flysky RX soldered to the naze32 with my custom ESC. This is glued to under the top plate. I also replaced the stock antenna with a little wire antenna (range is still good enough for me).
You could also use a standard quadcopter FC with cleanflight/betaflight with the ESC output in brushed motor mode and some of my custom 6.2 Amp Brushed ESC's
If running without FPV then 500mah are fine, I find it a bit weak if its fully loaded and switched to 260/300mah lipos.
