Smallest quad with APM?

Posted by Euan Ramsay on May 10, 2013 at 1:17pm

Hi all,Just something I thought of over dinner...what is the smallest quad you can make with an APM aboard?Interested to see what you guys have come up with. I'm toying with a droidworx trainer frame install next, but wonder if I could go smaller still?

I built this quadcopter for indoor testing and tuning during rainy Seattle winters.

3DR APM 2.0 & 900Mhz telemetry,
4x2900KV motors with 5030x3 blade props,
6amp ESCs,
2S-1Amp lipo,
and camera with DVR.

225g w/o Telemetry and Cam, flight Time 8 minutes.
275g w/Telemetry and Cam, flight time 5.5 minutes.
