A "naked" (or decased) Caddx Vista means you removed the metal heat sinks, which saves about 10 grams of weight. But is it safe? Will your Vista burn itself up and destroy itself? I'm going to show you how to make a "naked" Caddx Vista, and weigh in on whether it's safe to do this mod.
--- TABLE OF CONTENTS ---
0:00 - Intro
1:50 - Disassembling and cleaning the Vista
Robert Landrum's build of the non-naked version of this quad: https://youtu.be/rIFm65SS3fg
4:07 - How much weight did the "naked" Vista save?
My review of the Nebula Nano -- see for yourself if the image quality is worth the weight savings: https://youtu.be/XYrC49jiNhw
5:08 - 3D print the canopy
The "naked" Vista canopy I'm using is: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4564163
Don't have a 3D printer? One of these 3D printing services can help! https://youtu.be/CcGtaDrD3VA
5:46 - Re-install the "naked" Vista
8:21 - Will the "naked" Vista burn itself out?
10:16 - Flight test
Want to see how it flies with the full-weight Vista on board? https://youtu.be/HCs2fG0ARmc
