250 FPV Racer using Mini APM

Hi All, here is my 250 FPV Racer I designed and 3D printed. It uses a mini APM as the flight controller and also has a GPS and telemetry for missions. The arms are 15mm carbon tubes with SN20A esc's in the arms. The files can be downloaded here http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1256900

Telemetry/OSD board at the top, Mini APM in the middle and PDB at the bottom.

688g AUW with 4S 2200mah battery

483g with GoPro and no battery.

367g without battery and GoPro

Brilliant. How does it fly?

Nice job! I like the use of carbon tubes and the carbon fiber props.

Stunning - I think there's a huge commercial market for these tiny apm quads - you can have one ready in the boot and pop them up for inspection, security (neighborhood watch), journalism, etc. Well done.

What 3D printer did you use and the material?
James Mark Borgaily January 15, 2016 at 3:47pm

That is absolutely a neat set up, any flight videos you may have please send.

very nice design

I really like it!! Much better to have the FC and all other electronics in a protective box! What sort of flight times do you get?

I'm really starting to enjoy these 3D printed 250/210/180 frames which house all the components too.

cool

That is outstanding. How does it fly? BTW - if those Sunnyskys are from Bangood 99% certainty they are fakes. Keep an eye on your bearings. The fake ones can be decent enough when you replace the bearings.
