What happens to the performance of a 1S whoop when you make it HALF the weight of a typical BNF? Let me show you! It’s pretty amazing! Links and custom tune below...
You can also follow me on Instagram to see what I’m up to. I post pretty often these day:

The Easy Way to Build (but not as light):
If you want an easy build, just get a Meteor65 or Mobula6 and swap the parts onto a 75mm frame with 40mm props. Try 19,000KV or 19,500KV combined with my custom tune. It will be good, but not as good as my version. For that, you’ll have to build it up from components (see below):
- Meteor65 BNF (from BetaFPV: , from GetFPV: )
- Mobula6 (, or )
Full Parts List (as seen in this video):
- Mobula7 V2 Frame (, or )
- Happymodel EX0802 19,000KV Motors (, or )
WARNING: The EX0802 motor wires are just barely long enough. Do not cut them shorter! You will need every mm of wire. I suggest pulling them out of the connector and then cutting off the crimped part, preserving as much of the wire length as possible.
- BetaFPV F4 1S FC (the one I used) (, or )
- Alternative FC: BetaFPV F4 1S FC with built in VTX ()
- Alternative FC: CrazyBee F4 Lite 1S FC with built in VTX (, )
- HQ Props w/ 1mm shaft (, or )
- Runcam Nano3 Camera ()
- NamelessRC Nano VTX ()
- E6000 Glue ()
- extensions cut to make custom VTX antenna ()
- RENY M1.4 4mm motor screws ()
ESC Setup:
- Flash JESC v2.3 with 48kHZ PWM
- Startup Power = 1.0
- Demag Compensation = High
- Motor Timing = Medium High
- Enable Bi-directional DSHOT (small fee for H-type ESCs, free for L-type)
