    Wow, now that was a great tip on removing motor plugs. I am only a year in and had not heard that little life hack yet and it's game changing... Thank you

    Nice work. I really like the top mounted battery. Essentially that sandwiches the flight controller between the frame and the battery for even more protection.

    • @nuxnik
      @nuxnik  Рік тому +1

      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.

    wow just in time I'm also working on a CF whoop. I like the choice of parts and the quality of this video is really great. Looking forward to see any updates and changes you make!! especially with weight reduction

      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 :)

    I did somethibg alike but with the nanohawk. I got rid of the canopy and prop guards and just added new and stronger whoop guards and the newbeedrone canopy that Mr. Shutterbug suggested and some purple triblade props.
    Crashed and crashed no problem until my vtx went out. I couldnt stop staring at it bc of how cute it looked.

    I am looking to build a tinywhoop with the same fc. Is the UFL connector a IPX1? I am assuming this is the crazybee f4 lite fc? Cheers Nick.

    Amazing video. Quad seems a little heavy for a 65mm build though. 19g dry is pretty achievable with high quality parts and a meteor frame

    • @nuxnik
      @nuxnik  3 місяці тому +1

      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

    • @nuxnik
      @nuxnik  3 місяці тому

      ​@@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 😀

    It's big enough to build as a 75mm right??

    • @nuxnik
      @nuxnik  7 місяців тому

      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

    I use a razor blade to trim ducts. Sandpaper takes too long

    • @nuxnik
      @nuxnik  8 місяців тому

      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.

    Hey why did you rather solder the motor wires instead of using the plugs?

    • @nuxnik
      @nuxnik  Рік тому

      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.

    How are you fitting 40mm props into the whoops of that 65mm frame? Those only hold 31mm props. You would need a 75mm whoop I would think.

    • @nuxnik
      @nuxnik  Рік тому +4

      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
