Tiny Whoop boosted: The BeeBrain and Insane engines

You might have read the test of Insane Motors from Micro Motor Warehouse installed on a Tiny Whoop. They give a nice fishing machine, but it trembles on all sides, making the flight very unpleasant. In the absence of the possibility of adjustments of the flight control, the solution is that is necessary ... it is to change flight controller! In the end, we get what? A nano machine to fly indoors with its protections of propellers, but powerful enough to fly also outdoors, with a little aerobatics ... The whole of the manipulation is very simple.

The proof ?

It's because I got there - and yet I'm not good at it. Just two soldering points is the most complicated step. Dsc_0009-1200I have opted for the NewBeeDrone BeeBrain v.1, a flight controller that measures pile-hair the same size as the Blade Inductrix. However, it relies on a Naze32 type electronics and Betaflight firmware rather than proprietary and non-adjustable Horizon Hobby software. It is proposed with an integrated receiver compatible with DMSX radios (Spektrum) or FrSky radios (like the Taranis). The video of some flights and a proposal of list of components can be found at the end of this post.

The base ?

Dsc_0114-1200The required to mount a Tiny Whoop Survived, is simply basic chassis of Inductrix. There are many other versions, plastic, 3D printing, aluminum ... No matter which one you choose, but the more the chassis is light the better it is. Shock resistance is not a fundamental criterion: all are repaired a number of times, then they must be changed when they are in too bad a condition. You can of course recycle an Inductrix from Horizon Hobby to give it a second life. Or an E10 from Eachine, to offer him a real life! That is the solution I have chosen. Simply adjust this step by step by removing the steps you do not need, especially by going directly to step 6 if you are starting from a bare chassis.

Additionally, if you happen need to purchase some rc drone parts, you can search via Banggood website, which is one of the wholesale platform to provide affordable prices, such as hs1177 camera, dji gopro gimbal, etc.
