I really didn&#8217;t understand if they were hype or not. So I built a &#8220;HoneyPot&#8221; from AirBladeUAV. The HoneyPot was supposed to be the big brother of the TinyWhoop. It sounded great on paper, but mine never flew right. It was a constant battle of gremlins. The screws were hitting the motors, the ESC&#8217;s were not happy, motors were not happy, random flips, poor performance and the list just continued.<\/p>\n<p>So obviously when AirBladeUAV released the Creampuff I was even more hesitant. I was told the HoneyPot was just too heavy and the Creampuff would be better. I questioned how much difference could 20g make?\u00a0Turns out it was a lot! This little Creampuff screams! I actually re-used nearly all the components from the HoneyPot so the build was a breeze. I was able to diagnose one of the ESC&#8217;s was bad. It was good enough to hover but any punch out would cause a death spin into the ground.<\/p>\n<p>I also swapped out the FuriousFPV RX for a FrSky XM. A little disappointed by the XM to be honest. The first real flight with the Creampuff showed me the XM just doesn&#8217;t have the distance I would have expected. I was sitting on my porch and as soon as I got over the top of the house I lost signal, it came crashing down about 20 feet into the roof, then bounced onto the side yard. No damage thankfully. Since then I just don&#8217;t go very far away with it. I also do not have any telemetry info at all, but I have found that I am easily getting 3-4 minutes of flight on a 3S 450mah battery.<\/p>\n<p>Quad Details:<\/p>\n<p>AUW Weight: 107.65<br \/>\nFrame:
