![]() Unfortunately I think this will continue to be a problem for a while, until this class becomes more main stream and standards are established. This is also why I recommend getting an RTF kit as your first. ![]() The Process of Building Your Own Beware of Compatibilityīecause the Toothpicks started from DIY modifications, component compatibility has always been a major issue, for example FC/ESC stack won’t fit in some frames, and some motors have strange mounting pattern, etc. Here are the pre-built models I have reviewed so far. Not only it’s usually cheaper than building your own, you won’t have to worry about which parts to get. If this is your first time getting into the Ultra-light micro class, getting an BNF model (pre-built) is a good idea. There are now 3″ ultra-light micro quad too, but I will focus on the 2.5″ ones in this article since that’s my personal favourite, they are safer and quieter to fly in parks. Very cheap to build since the components, batteries and accessories are way more affordable than those for 5″ racing drones.Crash impacts are lighter thanks to the light weight, hence more durable.Legal to fly in many countries without license because they are under the 250g weight limit.Not as dangerous as a 5″ quad, some setups are as light as 60g including battery.They are very tiny, but can be surprisingly fast and agile !.I think they will get more popular in the future because: The ultra-light micro class is becoming my favourite type of quad to fly. Toothpick setups have been evolving rapidly since, becoming more powerful and sophisticated. Manufacturers are now producing parts specifically for this class of micro drones, some even offer well designed pre-built kits. You do lose the ducts protecting the props, but this simple conversion improves performance dramatically. The “Toothpick” class was started by KababFPV, originally as a DIY conversion by taking tiny whoop components to a slightly larger carbon fibre frame (from 75mm to 105mm), and replacing with larger propellers (from 40mm quad-blade to 65mm bi-blade). I also call them “ultra-light micro quad” if you dislike name “Toothpick”. Table of Contentīased on my understanding, a toothpick is a type of micro quad that runs 2.5″ propellers and weighs under 60g without battery. This article focuses on 2.5″ toothpicks, Introduction to 3″ Ultra-light Micro Quad (Toothpicks).
