New addition to the fleet

With weather is the way it was since November, much that has been done has been building kwad. Atrocious weather isn't exactly conducive to outdoor flying anyways. Of course about the only reliable components of the building phase is a reliable postal service.

Recently received several sets of motors and escs. So I got to quickly complete a couple of builds which have been waiting for parts.

KERMIT-1 and BIGBOY-1 are part of the self cut carbon fleet utilising completed stock arms. These builds are of simplest contructions with addition of stand-offs, top and bottom plates and additional reinforcement plates where necessary. GARIL-260, BUILDONE, AMAX-260 are three of the previous builds of this genre.

KERMIT-1 is a midsize flyer using X220 arms with assymmetric front and back arm configuration. It's a top loading battery bay. BIGBOY-1 is larger with 8in stock arms in the standard extended H configuration. It also has a top loading battery bay with a Runcam camera seat in front of the battery.


BIGBOY-1 : EMAX MT2206II 1500KV motors, Foxeer 35A ESCs, Idealfly 6048 prop, Foxeer F3 flight controller, Flysky IA-6B receiver.


KERMIT-1 : Furribee 2600KV motors, Hglrc 28A ESCs, Dalprop Cyclone 5045 prop, SPRacing F3 flight controller, Flysky X6B receiver.

Both have been tested and they fly really well. The 1500KV having more torque seems more smooth and gentle while the KERMIT's 2600KV seems really eager to be let loose for some massive punchouts.

As soon as I receive more receivers, there are 4 more builds left to complete : KERMIT-2, BIGBOY-2, PUDA-243 and REAL3-250.  2x on Betaflights F3 and 2x on SPRacing F3.
