All the following information applies to the current version 0.3 of tinyPEPPER (tagged as revision 0.3). If… Read More »
I recently went to a nice flying location. Three people in the air, checking the frequency board, ok channel B7 for me. After setting the channel in my Skyzone I received the other guys video — strange! Flipping through the channels and bands, still, always the same guy. Hmm… Seems like the channel does not… Read More »
Some time ago I ordered some Pagoda FPV antennas PCBs on elecrow. I modified Maartens ingenious python script to render multiple antennas in a 3×3 grid and into one single gerber file. My script added small breakaway tabs and they worked perfectly. The single PCBs snap away easily. A picture is worth a thousands words:… Read More »
The first community built tinyFISH fc is alive! I recently got an email from the rcgroups user Sevo. He successfully managed to assemble and flash his tinyFISH fc. Congratulations, this is the first report of a working replica from the community! Even though he had no access to a microscope he managed to complete his… Read More »

Lunch break — check No rain? — check No wind? — not really Batteries charged — only 3, check Let’s fly! This was the first time I have flown the pepperF1SH… Read More »
Even though my newest toy, the 32.4g brushless fpv copter pepperF1SH is not using circular polarized antennas, I started preparations for the next outdoor racing season. After seeing Maartens nice Pagoda antenna design, I realized that I will never again build those oldscool timewastingwirecage-antennas… So I needed some pagoda antenna PCBSs. Joined by some friends… Read More »

I finished a new prototype of my pepperF1SH today 🙂 Its total weight including FPV gear and a 1S 200mAh battery is 32.4grams — yay! With having a new toy to… Read More »
pepperF1SH This post is the third in a series of posts about the adventure of building the world’s lightest brushless FPV quadcopter: project pepperF1SH. After doing some more hover tests (2:30 @35g = 87mAh — yay!) and thinking about how to mount parts i came up with an improved frame design: For the motors I… Read More »
This post is an update about my 4in1 blheli_s ESC tinyPEPPER. I just did a first test using an old F3 evo brushed board that i converted to brushless operation (remove FETs and pulldown resistors). I will probably to the maiden with this board and an uSKY rx instead of using my tinyFISH fc as… Read More »
