150mm build need advice

[Solly747400]

There should be a pretty good selection, the 3" are hot atm
3 inches or below

Lol, this is my problem. I have been looking at banggood the whole time. I just ordered everything I need plus a bit more (LED's, buzzers, batteries etc), just over $300. I need to slow down cuz I also just bought this Eachine Lizard95 95mm F3 FPV Racer BNF

On the plus side, my 11 yr old son has been playing on the sim and likes it, so one of those might end up being his. He's better than me at flying already

It's way cheaper to buy rtf but not as satisfying
I've been eyeing the diatone gt90

I know, but TBH I get a buzz out of building my own.

Nice Virtue, I am thinking about ordering the 143. Looks good.

Not sure thats an authentic Diatone product but looks sweet

I came across an article or youtube about the GT90 and how to tell the original from the fake. I only have a faint memory of it so could be completely wrong, but if it's the one I'm thinking, the original has a gloss frame as oposed to a matte finish.

Hmmm you might be right Virtue. Diatone site has 150

imo its more the parts Inside, what's in the stack, that makes the difference in enjoyment.
