Mini Quad Build > Sub 250g Quadcopter Baseline





This guy on youtube video served as my baseline for my attempt for a sub-250g quad build.
His weight estimate from public data sheets looks like this:

Video Baseline 242g

However, if you look closely, some components are missing but the still makes weight, like props, wiring, FPV TX antenna, PDB, etc.  This leads me to think published weigh values are overweight.

I choose to begin with a Diatone Blade 180mm frame, because I like to use full size 4" props.  I don't plan for an HD recorder for my first quad build but I want to run 3s batt.  There's not much weight margin to spare.

Trying to meet this sub-250g constraint makes this quad build so much more challenging.  If no such constraint, a 250mm class quad would be easier and slightly cheaper.
