pepperF1SH

This post is the 15th in a series of posts about the adventure of building the world’s lightest brushless FPV quadcopter: project pepperF1SH.

Long time no update on the pepperF1SH… I was busy testing new prototypes. I did some tests for the smallest framesize possible. Right now it is 50mm motor-to-motor spacing and uses those Hubsan tri-blade propellers. Still need to decide if i will use 10000KV motors or 8000KV for this build. Here is a short teaser for the tiny version:

It looks like this thing is going to be 10% lighter… With lots of luck it might end up at ~30g (of course including battery!).

A 67mm spaced prototype is also in the works. That one will use 65mm props on 8000KV and has the potential for a ~4:1 ttw ratio. stay tuned for more!

    Great work! I have ordered parts and waiting patiently to proceed with building one (or two) of these. What thickness carbon are you using for your frames?

      Thanks for the offer. I think those would be too big for the 1S setup 😉

    Hi, my basket on the HBE Shop is ready for order.
    Only the resistors 1k and 10k are not listed there. Is a 1% and 63mW type OK?

    Regards

      Yes, 1% is fine. Make sure to order it in a 0402 package

    This looks great! I am following along and have ordered most parts to try and build one myself. Do you know when you might have the files for the 4in1 ESC available?
