A difficult build to get where we want, but we are nearing an official recommendation on this 3" build. Here is the build of this freestyle flight configuration:
* Fun Hog V2 frame
* 3" 4mm arms (using prototype for this flight)
* "Oscar's Backpack" 200my VTX
* FRSky XM+
* Emax Eco 1404 @3700kv
* HQ Prop T3x2.5x3
* RDQ Series 14.8V 4S 650mAh 80C (top mounted)
* KISS/FETTEC 20mm ESC and FC
* Foxeer Mix V1
* Foxeer Micro Lollipop 5.8GHz MMCX Antenna
* AUW ~240g

The camera angle is VERY shallow (5-10 degrees), so crank this up to 30+ degrees and get into some serious action. Overall the unit feels like a 5", possibly more so than any other Fun Hog configuration put forward to date.

Take off and punch is solid, not obscene, but on the aggressive end via the 4s higher C battery. Please notes that these flights were conducted at 10,000ft, the air is VERY THIN - this unit will cut even harder at 5,000 ft or lower, we can not wait to try this at sea level!

Flight is pretty smooth, bank turns can be sustained, reverses direction on a dime, and the agility is very high depending on rates. Pitch and Roll are medium fast (around 800 degree per second) and yaw is kept mellow. Flights are conducted with a FRSky X-lite, the smaller sticks on a small build require some work to create the right curve to balance desire for smooth flight with snappy and agro requirements.

Durability and overall build quality is HIGH. Many, may, many crashes later only VTX and props fail. VTX failure happens, not a result of the build.

Flights, including this one, are using experimental "Camera Flaps" for video mounting and stabilization. Pending official release and support, email if you want advanced access to CAD files. Also in use is the new Ass Paddle for VTX mounting, this is also in the experimental stage and we expect to release the CAD files soon on this item as well.

Prop wash is minimal, a complex turn or recovery, especially inverted, is the only place oscillations are found. Indeed, a 3 axis complex maneuver on any drone will shake a bit.
