Let’s Do This! Micro FPV 2.5 Inch Build! Any suggestions for improvements–put ’em down below! Specifically, any experience using any of these components? Pros/Cons? How about better Motor/prop combos for Pure Racing? Let’s hear them. Thanks for watching! Happy Flying!😃
Great video as always my friend. Very detailed. I learned a lot of things i didn’t know about the racing side of builds. Keep um coming!
Very in depth! I was planning on building my 2.5″er but i broke down a bought a diatone 2.5m. Im excited to fly this size quad. Ive got a 5″ and a 65mm but i really think the 2.5 is going to be a nice sweet spot between getting blown off course by a gnat sneezing and having people running for their lives:)
