This footage was taken over Thanksgiving break with my family at the ranch. Showcasing the 3D Printed MK X frame I push the limits of what a Micro Quad can do!!. I was surprised how far out I could fly with the MK X! Almost 800ft and I could have probably pushed it a little further. To get that long range I have done a few things to my equipment. - 5dbi antenna on my Taranis - Custom antenna on Tiny FrSky Rx ( http://bit.ly/2gTeAJo ) - Flew in an area with no RF noise The biggest contributing factor may have been that I was in a remote area with no RF noise. I do know that with the 5dbi antenna and the custom Tiny FrSky Rx antenna I have greatly increased the range over stock but 800ft is ridiculous. I use a 25mW FPV VTX with a dipole antenna broadcasting to my fatsharks that have an AOMWAY cloverleaf. You will never see an Eachine QX90 or Tiny Whoop fly like this!! I was also using the less powerful AVAWO Hubsan x4 motors that I measured in my motor test video ( https://youtu.be/YMrSBnQhR3A ) Even with these motors I had plenty of power to do flips and have fun. This goes to show how having a light quadcopter makes all the difference! These motors are much cheaper than the Spintechs and are still very capable for this sized and weighted chassis. I have already made some big improvements since Thanksgiving. The MK XI has the following changes: ( http://bit.ly/2hWIOsO ) - Stronger arm design to prevent cracking from impacts - Removed material from cross brace to keep weight low - Increased camera protection to avoid broken equipment - Increased height of vibration motor mounts and sockets I will be testing out different 3D Printing materials on the MK XI to find the most durable frame material possible. I'm excited to see how tough Nylon is! Do you have any suggested materials? put them down in the comments.
