So hobbyking started selling some new EMax polymer motors that were so inexpensive I had to give them a try. In order to get the most performance out of these motors as possible I decided to design the smallest, lightest quad I could. I included 10 degrees of dihedral since that's a new trend and it seems to work really well. The motors are also preforming really well all things considered. They definitely aren't the highest performing 1806 sized motors but I think they preform very well for the price. All in all the quad weighs in at 350 grams ready to fly which I think is pretty light. I'm curious what other's similarly sized multirotors weigh. If anyone here has any input into the design or any questions about these cheap EMax motors feel free.
