Build an insanely fast FPV racing multicopter from scratch! FPV Racing Drones are taking over, and this one is built to win races.
In this video I build the latest collaboration from Michael Morin and Lazd, the Falcon.
The Falcon is an X frame that is light, durable, and can pack serious speed in a race. It can be built up in three different ways and comes in three sizes: 130mm, 160mm, and 18mm.
I will show you how I built the 160.

Please note:
This PDB is designed to provide all of the power inputs you need, and is reversible so your ESCs should wire straight regardless of what you choose and where you mount it. I attach my vBat to an ESC pad, it's recommended that you use an available VIN pad. I also chose to mount my ESCs to the underside of the PDB with 6mm standoffs, this is not recommended unless you are confident in what you're doing.
Carbon fiber is conductive!
