Finally decided to pick the iron up again today

I was so frustrated with my last parts failure that I rage quit building, threw that rig in the closet, and still haven't touched it. That was months ago, and I've been flying the toothpicks mostly, but I got back on the horse today.

I bought a Hyperlight Floss, and all the other parts I have kicking around. Pyro 4in1, Aikon f4 mini, Emax 2206 RS @ 2550kv, and Dal Nepal props. It's my first racer style light build, never gonna hold a gopro, just building it to be sacrificed to the gods of the SEND.

Drivetrain works, just gotta setup the R-xsr and the Unify nano

Very tidy and clean build. Reminds me of my original Emax Hawk 5”, gave me a lot of vtx grief before I tore the thing down and made it bullet proof. It almost went into the special box I have where my doomed quads go to die.

It almost went into the special box I have where my doomed quads go to die.

I just went through that box and took everything all the way apart and cataloged the working parts I have. It was actually cathartic disassembling them and cleaning all the boards up.

I put it in the air this morning on a 850 4s, it's odd flying something with that power to weight. Punch it to the sky and it floats slowly back to earth. Flew like a dream on stock tune, but I'll have to tweak it just a bit to bring it back to earth because I couldn't keep it near the ground
