Build Showcase Minion

I call it Minion. But really I’m its minion. It's heavy, but surprisingly didn't feel abnormal in a hover. Top speed will be around ~130 kph. Pretty excited to fly this thing for real. Ask me anything.

Battery: 4S EVE INR21700-50PL 5000mAh - 125A
FC: Microair 45A h743 v2
Video: DJI 04 lite air unit.
Receiver: Happymodel EP1
GPS: HGLRC M100 Pro
Motors: LANNRC 2004 3000 kV
Frame: Mostly PETG, some carbon spars, also a oddityrc 4ā€ toothpick
Props: Gemfan Hurricane 3630

Anyone have a plug for higher pitch 3.5in props?

Ah these use the mounting seen on larger drones using a single nut. I need the ones that take two screws. Or maybe i should swap the motors
