Fractal Wingman 15mins Flight 1S 18650 Demo

Just a loong and rather eventful night flight playing with the environment
15mins flight time off a single 2600mah 18650! Mixed cruising and some acro; of course it's not meant to be a bando basher, but it's defending itself rather well I'd think.
Especially for a quad with foldable arms that fits in your pocket :D

nice flight!!! one battery for the whole flight is astonishingly incredible!

[@bellaciaofpv]

That thing goes way faster than I ever thought an 18650 drone could. Awesome

Looking forward to getting my Wingman together.

[@damienkinchen]

Same. Edit: how did yours turn out?

[@MichaelDFPV]

@@damienkinchen I never finished it. I got an x12 for it but could get it to fit due to the motor plugs and ceramic ELRS antenna. Just haven't gotten back around to finishing it.

@@MichaelDFPV awe man, that's too bad. I got a frame myself, then decided to just get the bnf one. Waiting for it to be shipped. Can't wait to try it out.

What is "5V booster and LC filter for vtx"?

[@fractalengineering]

Some Li-Ion batteries can be discharged down to 2.5v; well below the minimum voltage of most VTX. Adding a 5V voltage booster allows keeping the VTX powered with enough voltage all the way down the battery discharge curve. LC filter just filters the boosted rail
