I had 24 packs charged up for an unnervingly warm xmas eve afternoon, and I got tired of the Toothprick after about 6x. I spent the rest (much faster) flying the ol' Emax "Tinyhawk S". It's likely the tune on it that makes it more fun and somehow appropriate for the size of the area I was flying it in, so I flew the nuts off of it until I couldn't see gaddammit! Which is because I smashed it's little face in, as documented at the end of the video. Oh well, it happens. She'll fly again, but she's long overdue for a new frame of some sort. I'm running out of props and I'd rather transplant it onto some kind of carbon with 1103's or something. We shall see.
Current config though:
FRA: Emax Tinyhawk S Indoor FPV Racing Drone Spare Part 75mm Polypropylene Frame Kit 1-2S
AIO: EMAX Tinyhawk S Indoor Drone Part - AIO Flight Controller/VTX/Receiver (VTX Removed)

Added JST, 5V Beeper, Silicone Conformal Coating and black glint tape (hopefully I won't lose it with all these mods). I modded the Beetle lens for IR / night vision after removing it from the VTX. I used a VTX from a FireFly, cause it supports SmartAudio. I direct-soldered the "URUAV Micro UXII Stubby RHCP" to the FireFly VTX and secured it between the rear props on the bottom.

One uncut pack... little sleep, allergy headache... 90% humidity. Dat tram tho... been perfectly fine all day.
So this is the modded Tinyhawk S... I melted the motor connectors on the back 2 motors, and they won't insert back in anymore. I'll have to see if I can direct-solder or something. Everything else held up. I crashed while the connectors were molten plastic, so they came out and got deformed and warped into mush.
This was the 2nd to last flight, with 2 prior where I was doing flips, rolls and look-backs over a couch fire. Cause there was a couch fire. This didn't contribute to any of the melting, though it may have pre-heated things, given the aggressive flying.
Tomorrow is raining and repairs anyway.

Loosely edited nonsense. No clapboarding = manual editing = suck
I gave my good friend Chris the cameras this time. Good times... This was somewhere on the outskirts of San Antonio. I don't remember the name of the place, but it was pretty awesome cause they had a crashed helicopter, and we played giant games of 100+ people modeled after Black Hawk Down.

2S on the original 15000KV 08025 Tinyhawk motors
[2S flights @0:00 - 4:40, 1S @4:41 - end]
Nothing seems to be overheating now... except for the battery (they hate life now).
I think the following parts and a slightly higher C lipo, preferrably 350-400mAh would be the perfect "2S" Tinyhawk (these flights are the stock EMAX 2S);
