250 Slim Quadcopter

The goal is to build a super thin 250 size quad that will be used as a test platform for trying new parts and different firmwares / features.

To try and cut the size down and keep things tidy i made my own double afro 12a esc’s.

Esc’s flashed to BL heli and i would recommend this to anyone using afro esc. The tool is cheap, its super easy and it makes so much difference. running oneshot125 with damped-light. Ability to reverse motor output makes wiring much tidier.

yep. it fits the trusty ZMR 250 frame.

FC and top plate in place

Just had to add radio gear and motors after this and was ready to fly.

its verry light, at least till i find some suitable FPV for it. Currently at 260 Grams plus battery, frame is only 14mm high and uses 8mm spacers.

This was built as a prototype using some old parts. its not high spec and i realise i could remove a lot of weight by removing bullet connectors but it’s a testbed. made for trying things, tinkering and swapping parts in and out.

It’s surprisingly quiet and i heard that these motors can have a good amount of thrust with a 6″ prop (when some arrive).

Planned Final Configuration:
Plan is to use a micro fpv cam and mount it on the space at the front of the mobius next to the main lens.
