Mini Whoop, DIY !

There Tiny Whoop, now is the Mini Whoop! Envisioned by HicWic is a handset that cost less than a Tiny Whoop. On the principle of DIY, it shows the outline of his little brother with propellers protected by fairings to withstand without concern for small shocks and crashes, but with more powerful motors, brushed 8.5 mm. It is expected to be equipped with a flight controller Scisky or equivalent, with a location for a combo camera-transmitter support, as Quanum Elite or FX797T.

The frame was modeled for easy 3D printing - it takes about 2 hours on a standard printer. It was also thought to weigh a feather weight: 13 grams support for camera included! HicWic entrusted us have spent time frame put to the test shocks, by reinforcing where there were weak points. "The model is not indestructible," recognizes its creator - he is French - but "by its ease of printing, replacement is quick and easy."

You can download the frame to be printed on Thingiverse here. If you do not have a 3D printer, HicWic proposes to do it for you for 10 € (excluding shipping). It happens there. For installation instructions, a tutorial can be found here (in English). All outside radio receiver and display device FPV (goggles, mask or screen) is less than 100 €. With some elbow grease, of course. The model is not fixed, the developer is open to suggestions for improvements, variations and evolutions!

Additionally, if you need to purchase some rc drone accessories, you could search via Banggood, which is one of the wholesale platform to provide affordable prices, such as flysky transmitter, two axis gimbal, etc.
