One might wonder why do I need this fancy new plug?! The reason is simple, the original TinyWhoop battery connectors are specified for a current of 1A. At least the original picoblade connector made by Molex — the Chinese clones are probably worse… A small micro brushless quad as my pepperF1SH can easily draw a… Read More »

This time, we used boards from elecrow instead of OSHPark. The PCB quality is at a completely different level as OSHPark (worse…). See my comparison post… Read More »

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… Read More »
Space grade titanium screws for your quadcopter Some people use aliminum screws to mount the top and baseplate of the typical H shaped frames to save some weight. I know it’s not a lot, we are talking of < 10grams for inox M3x6 screws. When reaching for the holy 250g limit you often end up… Read More »
