I needed a practice quad to get better a doing skill runs with my 250 so after some looking around i found this
http://rotorgeeks.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=20_27&product_id=494
So what was the budget goal well it was to get the price under price of the hermit fpv and still have more power but i cheated i was given a lot of electronics but i will include the in the price
So what did i use for this quad
DYS 3100kv 1306 http://www.getfpv.com/motors/dys-1306-3100kv-brushless-motor-cw-ccw-pair.html
5a multistar esc
naze 32 running cf https://store.flitetest.com/naze32-rev-6-flight-controller-board/
Lemon rx dsm2 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P04IY40/?tag=lstir-20
Eachine fpv micro systemhttp://www.amazon.com/Eachine-700TVL-System-Degree-Transmission/dp/B00WJFKXS8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1456894762&sr=8-1&keywords=eachine+fpv
Total $161

stay tuned

good luck on your build. for me the hardest part iv had to experience with this micro quads is the space for the motor/esc.. you almost have to direct solder the ESC to the motor.. and 1106 motors are a waste of money..
but i guess everyone knew that but me. LOL.. laughs



here is a 130 insect.. on the small size

I just built a Diatone 160 (see crafty dan's under 250 thread), and i'm in no hurry to build anything smaller anytime soon. Good luck!!

You will love the Shreiker, it's a fun little quad. I never posted a build thread, but here are some of my pictures if you want to see how it came out or for reference.

nice build. very clean.. i need better skills. o well. i did learn a lot from it. now i wont touch another micro.. to small for my skill level.
ill stick with 180 and above i think.

i imagine the tri-blade helps a lot with these little guys where did you find such small tri-blades at? i think the smallest iv seen is 4"

They are RotorX 3040t props. I believe RotorX was the first company to make 3" tri-props, but HQ also makes 3" tri-props now too (HQ3030x3). They are becoming easier and easier to find, now that these micro/nano/sub 250g builds are becoming more popular.

They are definitely a great prop for the 1306 motors. I've got the DYS 1306 3100kv on 4S with these props on my Shreiker, and it is amazingly fast for its size. I also run these props with DYS 1306 4000kv on 3S on my 3D printed Comet 150 and they are great in that application too.

 

[jipp]

thank you for the info.. good stuff

I disagree saying that 1105 motors are a waste. You can get a Sputnik 117, strap on the RotorX 1105B 6000kv and get an 8:1 thrust ratio, whilst making your quad less like to break anything than a quad running 1306.

 

[jipp]

thats cool. what i should of said.. the DYS 1104 were not very durable for me there for a waste of money ( maybe i just got unlucky ). good to know others are getting good performance out of the 1105. im waiting for a replacement motor now.

Hey jipp thanks for all the support i'll keep you posted on any progress i got the wires trimmed but i keep losing my pocket solder in my workshop 3rd time this week once i find it again ill solder it up to this http://www.getfpv.com/lumenier-4power-mini-pdb.html

Thank you so much will definitely use it as reference.Also, do you have any recommendations for standoffs for the naze board
Thanks

[jipp]

i just used generic nylon stand offs.. you can get them at the local hardware store.. but its cheaper just to buy a bunch of them at once.
i bought a bunch in a pack. need to buy some more soon probably.

[airhawk]

Sorry i haven't updated this thread in a while I was busy soldering 2 sets of escs and motors together I'm hoping to solder the rest soon.

 

[jipp]

looking good.
they are fun to fly even if i was not impressed with the DYS 1106.. maybe they need 4s which i do not have yet.

chris.

 

[airhawk]

this build is so much fun first build after i learned to solder those short band ham radios really help to learn soldering.I need to solder my other motor for today before i leave for an event hopefully i'll have the motors done by Sunday if not i have the week of from school so more building time for me

I brought some hq 3 inch props for this one there brand new though so there not many builds using them

mpbiv , what PDB is that on your Shrieker?

 

[airhawk]

would it be okay to run same size motors with different kv ratings together

You can buy them on Amazon too, for about the same price!
