Goblin FPV Drone

Note: A larger version of this drone, able to fit a 20x20mm stack is available:

The Goblin FPV Drone I worked hard on this little guy. Poured love into every edge and crevice. Spared no mechanical consideration. And what a beautiful little goblin he turned out to be. Now to get a bit more technical. This is a 3 inch drone frame. Mine is printed using carbon fiber nylon for the body and translucent green PETG for the top. I'll list out the specific electronic and mechanical hardware that I used below, I know this combo works and pretty damn well at that. If you don't wanna choose parts for yourself, follow this list. The Electronics: - 1x 16x16mm Flight controller / ESC stack - What I used is out of production. Search for: Flywoo Goku GN405 Nano HD 35A

- 1x ELRS receiver - The GN405 Nano has a built in receiver already
