Why DIDN’T I fly this EARLIER?? PIKO OWL Review + warehouse flight.
Piko Owl review from flexRC. This piko owl from flexRC was AMAZING to review and fly. It is super light, has a tiny footprint and best of all it is a rocket on a 3S lipo. It has a 4 in 1 esc, micro vtx camera pod and has some tiny cut down rotor x propellers. Link – http://bit.ly/2qCF84V

piko owl link – have the ability to fly 3s REALLY makes this quad. 5+ minute flight times woo woo. Where are some of the best places to fly these little quads?
Can you give us a link or at least the name of the 3s you used?
Great review! I always enjoy your reviews. Thank you for including grumpy Trevor in the reviews. I’m older and his input is helpful. Letting him review goggles is helpful to me because I have old eyes too.
Do you have a link to your receiver you used for the pico x owl? I couldn’t find it in the comments.
That looks like such a fun place to fly in. I want to find a place like that for my Aurora. I’m ready for a 3s tiny though.
are those gemfan 2035 props?i really like them on the aurora90 what are your favourite 2 inch props?
So I got this back in January and love it but how did you get 3s to work? Poor little motors get hot af just cruising lol
Loved my Piko Owl V2 and it rocked with the 3S batts, Tattu 450mAH, and 650mAH. Flew it a lot for months during winter. Built mine with DYS 1104 motors, Omnibus OSD FC, 10A ESC, TX03 cam modded for OSD, and programmed LED lights, motors never got more than warm even with crazy punchouts! Paste tense because my Piko is lost in the forest around my house. Video failed after a branch hit and could not find it in the blackberries and bushes even with buzzer (boo hoo) loved flying that little guy. The 5-blade props work even better on it. Costs are the DIY kit or just Frame kit plus parts you put into it.
I have a question I would like to ask.
I am planning to build the $99 drone(upgraded) and I was wondering how to connect the Flysky radio you left in the comments to the drone. I do not see extra wires that come with it so you can Soilidered them on. What do you recommend?
Can you please share your PIDs? How warm do the motors get? I have a Lady X Owl with 1104 6500kv motors and they get very hot and I can’t figure out why yet 🙁
nice little quad..
Thanks for all the information that you gave us I got one question what do you use to hang your quads on the wall with
can i please have one of your drone?
Nice quad. Is that a Pagoda antenna on Grumpy Trev’s goggles?
Can you do a unbox and review for the mana 285mm from gearbest please

I love my Pico Owl as well but, as you did, hated trimming props. But both HQ (available from FlexRC) and Raycorp (available on Amazon Prime if you have it) have 1.9″ props that fit the Pico Owl perfectly. I’m running mine on 2s with 10000kv motors and it’s surprisingly quiet with the Raycorp props. Haven’t flown the HQs yet.
Mine came in at 53.5g without the battery. And the prop guard works extremely well.
WOW. ALMOST 60k subs!!!! Congrats. Been here since under 5k.
You haven’t let me down yet the 99$ quad was such an awesome intro to this hobby so we just ordered 3 Pico owls so my kids could fly too they’re loving practicing on the simulator let’s see how many lamps we can break in the house, definitely gonna start throwing some money your way on patron as well
