I took the motors and FC from my Pavo 20 pro and put them on a TuneRC 3.5" toothpick frame with 04 lite and I had some pavo parts left over and decided to build this, his bigger brother. It is another TuneRC 3.5 toothpick frame with HDzero gamma 45amp AIO, T-Hobby F30 4S motor, Lava II 4S 580mah battery, and the carbon frame and canopy from the Pavo 20 pro.

I cut the motor arms off the carbon pavo frame (made a pigs ear of front right corner but it works) and attached it to my FC screws with M2 nuts and a dollop of B-7000 to stop them rattling themselves loose. The props only clear the camera by about 2mm either side so that could be interesting in a crash.

All up weight is 187g and it hovers at 19% throttle in my front room. Its raining on and off all day but as soon as I get a chance I'll post flight footage.

I bought the DJI FPV controller when the Avata 2 came out. Before this I flew for 3 or 4 years on analogue 1S tiny whoops with cheap betafpv goggles and a jumper T lite. The DJI controller felt great at first but I was a thumber, and I switched to pinching and my control improved massively, I then bought the boxer crush which felt even better. Now I can't fly thumbs, I feel like a complete novice when I try, no control.

I've not used the DJI controller since I got the boxer but recently I'm building something lightweight with parts I already have and to save space and weight in the build I was thinking of going sbus DJI. I've been on the SIM trying to get used to it but it feels well to twitchy and I can't get used to it. I bought longer adjustable sticks to see if that works but no joy.

Is there a way to make the sticks feel somewhat similar? Is there something I'm missing? Like some way of playing with the DJI controller settings like I can with edgetx on my boxer.

Just got a sausage and bacon barm from Greggs, when I got home and went to take a bite I saw what I thought was a pube hanging out. It's not a pube but it is still disgusting, and I'm not the kind of person who can go back to a store full of customers and complain over a few quid. Guess I have to make my own breakfast 😐

Finally got a chance to go out and fly for the first time since November, and I took my 3" toothpick I converted from a Pavo 20 pro. Since the last time I flown it I put a 90% throttle limit and I added the Flywoo wide angle lens mod. Feels good but needs work, still has some vibrations. I also need a new canopy because what you see is its highest angle with the new lens mod.

Also first crash of the year trying to powerloop.
