Prepping for GEPRC Leopard build...

Boy, this R-XSR is tiny when compared to the XSR and probably half the size of the XM+:

[EDIT: probably a little smaller than the XM+ not half the size but it is tiny with full telemetry.]

Not as clean as Mr. Green but with any luck as effective!

Putting mine together today also, hoping my motors come in the mail today

Both of your builds are looking really good, and electrically sound from what I can see in the pictures. They should be nice additions to your arsenals!

All wrapped up and ready for a maiden. Of course, tomorrow the weather is supposed to crap out through the weekend. Can't win for losing sometimes.

That looks sensational Jerry, nice build. What packs will you run with her? Can’t wait to see some footage. Wayne

Jtrjr · Oct 5, 2017

Thanks, Wayno! 1300-1500mah, 4S, 75-100C. I'm going to keep things a little mild for the first few packs. I kept it on BF V3.71 (didn't want to test V3.2 yet) and left most of the settings on BF defaults. I'll change a few filter settings and some PID setting after I get a feel for it. If all goes well (after further research) I might move it to 3.2 and give DShot a go.

Sounds great Jerry, 100c 4s that thing will be a rocket. Hope the weather is good for the weekend and you can send us some nice footage for us. Wayne

Just completed charging 4 packs to do a few test flights. Picked up my goggles, radio and bird, opened the door and it already started sprinkling! Test flights are now postponed. Dang!

Ok, done!
Love these RF 2308 1800 kv motors. I think I could probably fly a full gallon of milk with this beast...lol,
Will put some paks through it this weekend. This thing has instant full power, will scare the heck out of ya...lol

HighTechPauper · Oct 5, 2017

So, it's a stretch limo that can go for milk! I love it!!!

Looking really good guys!

The Leopard is imo a near perfect frame. Only problem I've had is with my stretch version, it came with camera plates for runcam type cameras only, my true x leopard came with both types

It seems as tho almost everything is HS1177 shaped, what other type of camera is there Virtue? And can you suggest a link to show the 2 different types of camera plates?
Just trying to learn a little, thanks!
