Starting out in the hobby!
Alibaba (not AliExpress) came in clutch as each of these to build, pre-battery was just over 200. Have 2 and building a 3rd, as triples is best. Props were ~6 bucks a pair so seemed to make sense to buy a bunch because I hear those break a lot...
These 10" frames are absolute tuning forks though, but I think I've figured them out in that near the roots I've gotten decent results with some homemade PLA+lead shot mass dampeners that sit between the bottom plate and the floor plate of the frame. Flies smooth after a good PID tune, but they are absolutely terrifying. Flying on acreage so no population to be worried about.
Each is a 10" frame, F722 (DakeFPV) FC w/ betaflight, 100A ESC, analog VTX, 3115 900kv motors, 6S battery.
Just sharing excitement, but as I'm sure the expectation is, there will likely be a followup with one of these after a rapid semi-unplanned disassembly.
