Bottom VS Top Mounted Battery
I tested which one is better for freestyle flying, bottom or top mounted battery frame. The top mounted one felt more locked in and overall it has better flight characteristic. Maybe the bottom mounted battery frames better for racing but for freestyle I definitely prefer the top mounted ones.
Parts that I have used:
– Frame: Bottom mounted one: Realacc X210 bottom plate, modified ImpulseRC Alien 5″ top plate
Top mounted one: FlamingoRC Alien 5″
– Motors: Cobra 2204 2300KV
– ESC’s: LittleBee Spring 30A Dshot600
– Flight Controller: F4 REVO STM32F405
– FPV Camera: Runcam Swift 600TVL (GoPro lens)
– FPV Transmitter: Skyzone Upgrade TS5823S 40CH 200mW
– FPV Antenna: Aomway Clover Leaf
– Propeller: Dal 5040 V2
– Banggood Battery Strap

I love the power loops with the added backflips, neat skills. I have been debating which frame to get for a new acro model. You helped me make up my mind, thanks! (Will definitely get an alien or something like it!)
Awesome test thank you!!!
Thanks for sharing this comparison !
I’m flying only acro LOS at the moment, my next homemade frame will be with top mounted battery, no doubt now 🙂
