yea, top mount with a 16x16 stack and a camera in that tight package. Gnarlyfpv did have the guppy similar design, but there were issues with getting a camera in and camera angle. :(

@@NickBurnsFPV A couple years ago GnarlyFPV used to sell this tiny little frame on their replacement frames page, it was like a whoop-sized frame, but for the life of me I can't remember the name, or find a pic of it. Basically the bottom plate of the Sub Atomic. It used a 16x16 stack mounted diagonally, and one of the NewBeeDrone camera mounts like Kabab's Toothpicks, and whoop props. I kept wanting to order one, but never did, and then it disappeared. I'm glad this new one is out, it's an improvement on that design, I didn't like the camera mount; this one is so much better.

for me, the Tinyhwak Freestyle 2 with the TinysLED Sled to hold the TBS tracer receiver and the TBS unify Nanno pro is the pinnacle of small drones.

Gerridae.... Also known as the 'water skimmer/skipper/skeeter/skater/strider/spider', the ponds behind my house were full of them when I was a kid, loved them! Love this li'l skimmer as well, it's like a tiny little 'Tadpole' from Armattan, my favorite quad of the last six months..!

I was thinking water strider, but as crowdsourcing goes we did get it down to Gerridae. Now the real question, did you know Gerridae or did you look it up? Either way, thanks for helping find the name.

[@jackmaddox4960]

@@NickBurnsFPV Believe it or not, I knew it..! Waaay back in the 80's I was the weird kid with a net and a jar who spent all day out in the fields catching every six-legged creepy crawly I could, then went to the library and looked them up, made little labels, etc... Then in my early teens I realized entomologists covered in bug bites didn't get quite as many girls as lead guitarists with long hair, and well, life took a left turn... No regrets tho, I've had fun (probably more than my share), I ran a recording studio, did some tours, and later became a guitar builder; but sometimes I think back wistfully to those days out in the fields, and wonder what might have been... C'est la vie, eh?

@@jackmaddox4960 Impressive retention of that knowledge. Did your school have that "science" project of collecting insects, pinning them to a cork board and labeling them?

[@jackmaddox4960]

@@NickBurnsFPV No, but I was doing that on my own by age 10, then a science teacher in Jr. High, Mr. Gonzales, let me use his lab after school, and helped me out, basically for extra credit. He also helped me start our school's first model rocket club, the Pinewood Derby Club, and even the (admittedly small) 'Folded Folio Forum', or paper airplane club! I always loved them, as did he, so we'd meet with a few other students and exchange designs & ideas, make a bunch, then launch them out the 2nd floor lab window into the main courtyard to see how far they'd go. He was a great teacher, the last really dedicated teacher I had, honestly. Not too many like that anymore, sadly... Apologies for the long trip down memory lane, not really the forum for it here... :-)

Have you tried flashing JESC on ESC controllers? Fly times should be better on it

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I have used JESC and BlueJay, as well as JazzMaverick. At this time my preference is bluejay. Changing the khz does help with flight time on micros, it also changes the low throttle response. Outside I find 48khz works well, inside I find the higher khz has a negative impact on my flying, makes turns at speed more challenging, as the props slow down slower.

Hey, I'm gonna need you to cool down on all the sweet content. I only get paid every 2 weeks.

lol, sorry, maybe a birthday is coming that can help?

Any thoughts on an alternative motor? These are very hard to find. Thanks for another great video!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

An alternative I would be the eachine novice motor its a 1102 13500kv I only see it on banggood.

@@NickBurnsFPV thank you very much for the information!

Hey Nick I've put in a form for the giveaway, living in the UK I'm not sure what the postage will be but I'll go halves with you on the postage if I win! Another awesome Video BTW! lol

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Very well. I think to the UK it should be under $10. I have sent a few boxex to the UK for around $15.

[@jpsalis]

what type of connector does the battery have? I've never seen a connector like this before.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

That is fairly new. About 3-4months ago it launched. Its called the GNB27, made by GNB.

[@mikebergman1817]

I do not accept that the Sub Atomic couldn't handle the full house punch out!! Perhaps this needs to be built as a 3s instead of a 2s? I know that little Jhemcu 16x16 aio is pretty reliable so far, even on 3s!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

We could try a 10000kv and 3s 300mah.

[@mikebergman1817]

@@NickBurnsFPV Ooh, I definitely support this idea!

Water skippers.... don't think they are spiders. They only have 4 legs. Used to see them growing up also, great story.

I really wish there were kits for sub250 drones.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Kits to build it ourselves?

[@SensorDelay]

@@NickBurnsFPV yea, like having a set parts curated by well known pilots or groups. Most of the kits i find are 5inch beginner builds. I rather new to the hobby so maybe i'm looking at all right places.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@SensorDelay ah yes that is understandable. We don't find much of that these days. Most of the time the BNF are so cheap and ready to go the market for a kit is small unless its endorsed by someone. I have been asked, but I stayed away. Manufactures could change something or have a defective run of components. Risky.

Put a drop of soap in the water by the bugs, knock the water tension away, and they will stop defying gravity! Lol

[@NickBurnsFPV]

lol, that's a dirty trick. I wonder what they do then?

[@mkingwell45]

unbelievable that you managed to get hold of two.lol... they are always out of stock when i look.....

Maybe I am the Ninja :)

[@Catiadr]

Are you referring to the water skater?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Yes, I believe so. I found a wiki page on it, this bug has a number of names it seemly goes by.

Now for a 6s version bwahahaha!!! Appreciate the giveaways when you can!!!
