Pro's
- 1306 3100KV motors and BL Heli-S 20 ESC. Add a small 4S battery and you get plenty of punch power.
- Runcam Sparrow camera provides good 16:9 widescreen video with 145 degree FOV.
- 40 channel FPV transmitter with 25 and 150mW selectable power levels.
- Includes OSD.
- Includes a beeper for low voltage and lost quadcopter finder.
- Flight control board loaded with Betaflight Omnibus 3.2.4
- 3030 four bladed props.
- Does not require FAA registration.
- Available as Kit, PNP, and BNF (FrsKy XM only).
Cons
- Flight control PIDs not really meant for a micro, causing lots of warble and camera jello. Really should tune PIDs before flying.
- Prop nuts are all CW tightening. Make sure to provide extra tightening to the CW turning prop nuts to lessen chance for loosening from torque in flight.
- XT60 battery connector is installed. You'll likely want to use XT30 connector batteries with this drone. A spare XT30 connector is bundled in the package. But installing requires disassembly of the drone to install. Instead recommend purchasing inexpensive XT60 to XT30 adapter cable to enable use of XT30 batteries.
