This is just a simple mini 160 Quadcopter frame kit. Electronics are the same as JAQUES 350 Quadcopter Props are: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/4x4inches-4-blade-black.html?___store=en_us I fly it using a 2S 800mAh or 1000mAh battery to keep the weight down. With smaller motors and more compact electronics flight time could be greatly improved. It is about 5 minutes with the 1000mAh battery. Edit 03/02/2019: Added a lighter weight version (MiniQuadV5) of the base plate for a smaller electronics stack. I used this ESC in a 20x20 hole pattern.: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079FPT69X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Since the ESC doesn't have a built in BEC I have used one of these I had on hand: https://www.amazon.com/Ship-Hobbywing-Switch-mode-UBEC-Lowest/dp/B008ZNWOYY/ref=sr_1_12?keywords=BEC&qid=1551551031&s=toys-and-games&sr=1-12 install this ESC first with the nylon standoffs it comes with. Then install the OpenPilot CC3D over it with M3 nylon standoffs. I cut the wires from the motors and soldered them directly to the ESC to save some more weight. I also added a Battery Holder that snaps under the frame and between the skid. Print the battery holder with 100% infill.
