Kermit-2 completed

Kermit-2 is part of a fleet of smaller self cut carbon top and bottom plates using stock arms. In this particular case I used a set of 260mm carbon arms for a total of NOK130. Holding it together are three pieces from a 1mm carbon sheet.

Build-one, Garila-250, Amax-260 and Kermit-1 are part of this smaller size self cut fleet. Bigboy-1, Bigboy-2 and Fatboy are their larger brothers with 8in Stamina arms making them 300+ size for long distance.


260mm arms for Kermit-2.

Kermit-2: SPRacing F3 flight controller +Cleanflight 1.2.4+HGLRC 28Amps Esc+ Furibee RS2205 2300Kv+Flysky X6B receiver.

It started as a test to see whether or not u really need a fancy frame for a quadcopter to fly, the answer was obvious. So long as you have all the basic components of a quad and motors and propellers are at a more or less right place, the contraption will fly off the ground. 

Amax-260 was matched with a set of powerful motors, a 4s battery will shoot it up at a slightest push of throttle. After a couple of ceiling hits these  smaller light frames are more suited for 2300kv motors and 3s Li-po.
