6045 Gemfan ABS props... actually flyable; cooperative with my inputs. So the battery is on top, which means that it'll fall upside down, yet every frame design makes the top frame thinner, as well as having fragile things like antennas on top. Definitely room for improvement. All I could do given the weather that weekend. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiuVtn9uevY

For some reason it was still 9C out today, so I gave it a go. ~20mph winds made it a bit flail and flutter, but It was decent fun nonetheless. The radio tower dive @2:15 was awesome, but there were a few factors that limited it; must try again there when the leaves are back, the heroin users are not, and the wind isn't blowing against it.
This is another ImmersionRC PowerPlay DVR session edit; 16 packs @2:00m each. Slightly tweaked w/ DaVinci Resolve 16.1.1's "4x Super Scale" and some like Temporal NR.

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.

I H8-battled a flock of geese for turf, then went for a quick dip... and somehow survived to flip and roll another day. I wasn't able to stop all the shoreline poopin'... but the brunt of it was at least mitigated to some extent.
They'll be back... and H8'll be there. He's airing out along with my socks and pants.

Micro Motor Warehouse CL-0615-14 coreless motor

I still think these motors require more break-in time. These were more NOS parts I had from my busted Rakon-framed Inductrix. So far they don't feel all that different to the stock H8 motors. I have some -17's on the way to test. ($2.50/4 on clearance from airblade)
I was hoping for some improvement, but so far the only blatantly noticeable factor has been the Silverware firmware mod itself. The search continues for the ultimate ~25g freestyle FPV quad. The props are in view, so figure it out (though this vid is more for my reference);
1: "Gemfan 50mm" / "Blade Nano QX" prop; really wobbly. They lack punch, and response. I suspect they have more angular momentum, so it would need to be tuned differently. The last quarter of the throttle would cause dipping.

2: "Eachine E57" / "45mm HK Pocket-Quad" prop; less wobbly. They have better punch than the nanoQX, but they feel heavy like they brake less quickly than the stock H8 prop. They wash out more easily, and the top of the throttle range is unpredictable (likely tuning issue).

tinyhawk s w/ old original tinyhawk motors on 2S.
this could be the ticket;
*new "s" replacement frame
*old motors w/ old quad-blade props (probably on clearance soon)
*new replacement fc w/ removed VTX
