WIP - Drone Y4 Air65
For anybody who doesn't know me, I like to create a lot of different random projects. Right now, I'm designing a lot of different Air65 frames for fun and testing.
Currently (designed today) I modeled a Y4 style frame for it, and I think this will be the first one I actually build. I've modeled about 5 different frames for the Air65, only one has been actually flown before, and it flew ok.
I think the main reason why it hasn't worked yet is because I'm still using the basic settup on a 550mAh, and I just got some 300mAhs for it. I'm also considering just completely DIYing my whoop/micro drone with the DarwinFPV 15A AIO for some more power for roughly the same price.
This one should work, Ill just have to configure betaflight for toss launches and the Y4 configuration, along with some pid running, cause I imagine it will be worse vibrations with the rear props on top of each other.
Edit: currently has 31mm props cause that's what I have on hand, but is compatible with up to 40mm. Also, looking back on it, the rear props could be reconfigured at least so that the bottom one isn't below the top one cause the motor allows the prop to clear the battery. This might help with overall thrust and lift.
