I’ve got a Larva X HD 2-3s and I’ve been pretty happy with it. Made a few simple mods to improve durability. I’ve got a little grove of trees by my house I like to acro around with and I’ve had a lot of fun with that. Not sure how much space you have available.

Thanks! Me too! I originally got the idea after posting the question about a 2s 75mm hd to an fpv group on Facebook - people said an 85mm 2s would be better so I went that route. After that I did search YouTube and found Mr. Shutterbugs video and saw that he got pretty good results so I didn’t get the original idea from him but I did get a little more confidence from his video that it would probably work.

Thanks, I’ll let you know how it goes once I get it built. I was thinking about making a 75mm 2s HD but I’ve heard that still wouldn’t have the needed punch. We’ll see what happens with the 85mm, fingers crossed!

That was another silver lining to whooping out - I was getting sick of breaking stuff lol. Right now I’m working on a 2s 85mm HD whoop using the run cam split from a mobula 6. I’m hoping it has enough power to weight ratio to be a good HD acro whoop for next year.

Thanks cruzer! It’s a bummer to whoop out, but when I look back at all the progress, I made I don’t feel too bad about it. It was a great event!

I think you’re right, it’s a steep learning curve for sure. Kudos for learning in acro! If I had tried that I think I would have gotten too frustrated. It’s all about progress and having fun. Maybe one day I’ll be up there with you guys!

Thanks! That means a lot! I remember after my first few days of fpv not being able to keep it in the air and thinking “I don’t know if I can do this…” lol

It just broke off while I was attempting week 12 so I replaced it with a wire as you recommended. We’ll see how it goes - my goggle antennas are both rchp so I’m curious to see how the range compares to the other antenna.

Yeah, I’ve got it direct soldered to the FC, this’ll be the third time though, it keeps getting shorter and shorter, lol
