I will build Martian II from spare parts that I purchased earlier. I will use 30mm standoffs.
I plan to use it for propeller testing (I am mostly interested in Amp draw) and possibly for some other tests as well (motors, ESCs).
I hope this will be once again a fun build and I will try my best to create another build video series.

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people.
