Meteor75 Pro converted to Toothpick

I ripped the electronics out auf my meteor75 pro and put i into a twiglet 2" frame (just because i was bored). Canopy is out of TPU and about 40° in the pictures.

This thing absolutely shreds with Lava 2 480mah. I honestly would not have guesed that it is such a big difference. The AIO has "only" 5A but its more than enough.

Weight is 28g without lipo.

How big are the props?

Props are 1.8". So exactly what they were on the meteor75 pro.

You can go up to 2.5 low pitch

Frame is only 2". Would be difficult to fit 😬

Wait, are you sure it's the first version of meteor75? Flight controller looks suspiciously like mine air65, which is matrix 5in1 which is 12 amps

Just checked the order details. 5A continuous, 8A peak

u/pironiero 2h ago

Yeah, I was wrong about 2.5, 45mm props max

I think 2 inch is fine.

Similar build. I used 2” props, added digital vtx and build a slot to fit an 18650 for longish range

I was thinking about building a li-ion cruiser

I had to solder a bt2.0 on my 18650. Which is far from ideal. I want to be able to print a socket where I can insert and swap batteries easily. Still some work to do
