Mini Hex - What's my name?

 Pat G's New WASP!

 

A huge thank you to everyone that helped Pat find a name for this beast.

Congratulations to TRACKS for picking the winning name!

What you get with this model is big fun in a small package! This craft is a joy to fly. Fast ,light ,and very responsive. Took a hit to the ground,solid enough to kill an OSD, and not a scratch on her.

Bellissimo Patrizio!

" Simplicity, Durability and Affordability." With this in mind, Pat designed the frame to be as light and tough as possible. In order for it to be simple to assemble it has a minimal amount of plates and hardware.

 

 Nicely engineered with a full carbon fiber lower deck and arms it is rigid and light. 323 mm at the widest and 725 grams AUW with a 2200mah 3s and FPV gear. Arms will fit a range of motors and will accommodate 6 inch props!

The design has a low parts count and goes together quickly.

The RCX motors and 10 amp escs are fine but I am going to switch to Cobra 2204 2300kv motors and 12 amp escs or something close for more power
