What it can do

Written by Robotheca from the project's documents.

  • Experimental high-speed micro quadcopter platform with printable airframe parts, fairings and two-blade propeller models.
  • Flight controller runs Betaflight 4.5.x, with a reference configuration file included.
  • Motors are AMAX 1507, 3000KV class, powered by a 6S 650 mAh LiPo battery.
  • Video is provided by a DJI O4 Air Unit; GPS navigation uses BZ-121 reference hardware.
  • Blackbox logs are used for flight-test iteration and PID/filter tuning, with a companion analysis project.
