Glad to help.

Thanks for the comment. That's exactly what I was going for. I also think the quad flies a bit different due to the center of weight being more in the middle.

I remember checking out your ChopSticks frame design a few yeas ago - nice! Thanks for the comment. I am already testing some new improvements to the prototype. Weight reduction is my main focus right now. As I mentioned in the video, I'm replacing the screws (two peek one steel for each motor), swapping out the flight controller (f4 diamond) and making do with a simple wire VTX antenna. This should shave off some weight. I am also designing new 3d printable whoops and will (attempt to) print them in PP. We'll see where this rabbit hole leads :)

Kind of does doesn't it? :D

Nice

Nice! Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

Thanks, you bet.

Thanks, glad you liked it! :D

Thank you very much for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. Glad you liked the video. I'm gonna follow up with a part two soon and try and reduce the weight. Thanks again :D

True true! I have already built an updated cousin that is much lighter - ca. 18-19g. I still need to edit the footage and release a new build video. Glad you enjoyed it :D

@@nuxnik that's awesome 👍 I'm wondering, how do you find the difference between the 2? I'm looking at building one and I'm honestly not super keen on going ultra ultra light as I'm not a great pilot and I worry that being too light might make the quad too zippy and nimble? Or does it not work like that and you just get more control and better throttle response from saving those extra 4g or so? My goal is to fly only in my house which has no large spaces and lots of small tight corners, so I don't want it to be a little lightning bolt. Maybe my concerns are totally unfounded though. Keen to hear your thoughts sorry for the ramble

​@@nolanb134 good question. I never thought about it that way. Personally, I think for indoors, a 65mm ultra-light quad with high KVs is easier to control because you have the response you need to fight gravity. Indoor flying requires sharper turns and surgical precision. Along with weight, another factor depends on your TX rates. I ramp mine up high because I like my quad to be, as you said "zippy and nimble". So that will depend on your flying style. You can, for example, set your rates to give you less throttle in the middle of your stick throw, all the while leaving the high response area towards the outside of your gimbals. Rates like that can eliminate the the feeling that every micro movement on your sticks equates to a huge exponential explosion in quad movement. Every pilot has his own sweet spot. And it is a process of trial and error. So yeah, weight matters and 4g can make a big difference... With that said, a lacking factor of ultra-light whoops is the ability to "throw" the quad farther, which is a nice feeling especially if you are used to flying heavier drones. Ultra-lights feel floaty, and invincible to gravity - which in my opinion is a good thing depending on what kind of pilot you are. Good luck if you decide to follow through with your build. As for myself, I need to finish my update video soon 😀

@@nuxnik that is an incredibly helpful response. Thanks heaps. You should definitely make videos about this topic or something haha. I'm excited to try and go through the process of working out my preferred rates. Glad I found your channel 😊

Good question... and sorry for the late reply. The VTX and RX are built into this FC.

I have recently been using my cheap grinder pen to smooth the ducts. Kind of like a mini Dremel tool - also good for removing solder mask on PCBs. It only take a few seconds to trim off the excess.

Thanks for pointing that out. That is a mistake on my part. The props I used are Gemfan 1219 3 blade props. I am building another 75mm whoop in this style and I got them mixed up while I was editing. I'll update the video description and blog post. Thanks again! :D

I am working on building a 75mm version next. All the parts are on my bench, but I have been strapped for time the last few months. You could try it, but you'd probably need to make a few changes. The same carbon fiber frame is also available for 75mm. If you do build it, let us know how it turned out. If not, I'll eventually get around to making the video :D

A few years ago, I bought three of the following screw sets (different head types and colors). They work great for tiny whoops: aliexpress.com/item/1005002927407705.html

Thanks for the comment and good question. I removed the motor plugs to cut down on weight. Less weight improves performance and provides longer flight times.

Ha! Tell me about it :D

Thanks for the comment. I used the crazybee F4 Lite

@@nuxnikno problem thanks for responding I’m thinking of building one myself looks like it can take a beating

@@jessedaniel1246 nice! It can definitely take a beating. I have been using it a lot to practice tricks that usually end in a hard nose dive. So far, it keeps on ticking.

I take it you're not a fan of old analog music. Glad you enjoyed the content though :)

@@nuxnik I’m a fan of being able to hear the person talking in a video I’m watching.
