I just got some feedback from jaap, he successfully built himself a 2S pepperFIISH pocketrocket. His build features the new Racerstar BR1103B motors and uses the new frame design. Looks like he is having some serious fun with it! Jaap writes: I’ve been having so much fun with this new micro quad. It’s amazingly small,… Read More »
As spring is about to approach the southern hemisphere it’s time for spring clean! Or autumn cleanup for the unlucky northern people like me 😉 If you fly a lot you have probably piled up large amounts of broken FCs, ESCs, motors, … Those parts can eat up a lot of space and reduce the… Read More »
As you might know I am quite busy with the development of my tinyOSD. This will become a nice alternative to the common max7456 based OSD we see nowadays. All graphics are generated by a custom firmware running on a tiny STM32. Right now I am working on the proper betaflight integration. Just by chance… Read More »
Recently I have been asked for my recommendation for a super lightweight pocket rocket. At the time of writing there are no stock lightweight RTF 2S copters I can recommend.

The most basic version of a spinner consists of four bearings held together in a triangular shape.… Read More »
As you all might know racerstar cloned my opensource tinyFISH FC and tinyPEPPER 4in1 ESC, claiming it is their very own invention. Sadly they messed things up… There are lots of reports of not all motors spinning when you arm the FC with a fully charged Lipo battery. The symptoms fade away once your battery… Read More »

I started with a simple, fixed temperature iron during my childhood days to burn wholes in my mom’s carpet and came across different soldering iron brands the last years. I used them for heavy duty stuff such as soldering Li-Ion cells, delicate fine… Read More »
I was recently joking that my 2S pepperFIISH quadrocopter is strong enough to carry a friend’s GoPro. Too bad I did not make a bet on that… Out of curiosity I tried it, lacking a proper GoPro camera I fastened my Xiaomi Yi camera to my poor little 29g quadcopter (44g with battery). Let’s crunsh… Read More »
I just started to experiment with 0705 sized motors as I got some nice motors from boldclash. They came with a fishpepper.de logo *wohooo* This is great news, having motors with my own logo means I can now fly like a pro or better *cough* Well… certainly not… I hacked together a quick test frame… Read More »
