Finished My Apex 3” FPV Build - Weighs 276g!

Love my Ovonic 6S 650mAh packs

Thanks. I’ve got some R-line 4s 650mah. Just didn’t have one when I weighed it. I think even with a 650 it’ll still be overweight. I have some ovonic 3s 550’s. I use them for a Pavo pro. They are decent for the price. I think 30$ for 4 was what I paid. You can never have too many batteries. If I removed the heat sink from the flight controller. It would probably be sub 250 with a 650mah. Just didn’t feel like destroying the nice shiny new fc.  Maybe I’ll swap FCs in the future. With something not so heavy. For now it’ll just be a little over weight. 

Thanks man! I haven’t had a chance to fly it yet. I will here in a few. I’ll let you know. 

I’m actually surprised I was able to fit everything in this frame 😂 It’s smaller than I thought.

Just put a couple packs through it. It flies like a 5” surprisingly! I’m blown away how well it handles. Couldn’t be happier with this build! I love FPV so much. Feels extremely rewarding building these things! 🤗

I’ve used the lux mini in a Droner 5R build before. They are great stacks. If you go with the rush tank, be cautious where you buy it. There have been counterfeit ones sold out there. I ended up with one before. They aren’t bad. A little finicky maybe. I wasn’t purposely trying to build a sub 250. I was only a little hopeful it would be close. I’ve built about 50 quads or so in the last ten years. I’ve used a lot of what’s available. This hobby is very addictive. TBS Unify Pro32 HV Is worth a shot. 

Sure, it just has a lower output. There are a ton of good options out there. Just depends on the purpose of your build. Just search for one capable of what you need. Maybe look at reviews on the products you’re interested in. I’m currently only using Walksnail. Have you considered going HD?

No problem. 👍 you’ll be happy with it I’m sure. You’re going to build 100 more before it’s over. You’ll have plenty of time for options 😂 it’s a very addictive journey. 

Thanks man, I appreciate it 🤗

No problem. Just be careful with construction sites. They can be extremely dangerous. You never know what kinda danger they might pose. Things can collapse etc. Plus you should get permission before flying through “active”construction sites, especially if you’re trying to fly inside it. Might be possible people would be working inside it, without seeing them. Just be cautious and safe. It’s a fun hobby and we have to keep a good reputation, because one person could easily affect the hobby for the rest of us. Have fun flying buddy! Glad I could help 🤗

Everything in this tiny frame looks beefy, 😂 

Thanks ☺️
