Introducing the latest release in the Hummingbird series by Newbeedrone, the Hummingbird V3.1 RaceSpec ELRS BNF!
This aircraft features an updated Hummingbird FC, a new camera mount and a new motor wiring system - the motor winding wire does NOT connect to a PCB in the motors, but rather goes straight from the motor to the FC, protected by a short length of ultralightweight heatshrink. This was one of the primary reasons this aircraft is now the lightest BNF on the market. Hummingbird created new 30,000 kV motors with no pcb expressly for this build:
This BNF also features a new camera mount, which seems to be inspired by the "Bikeguy" mount. Tho there are significant changes to the design, it does feature the characteristic loop that goes up around the back of the camera. This new mount is also adjustable thru the use of the different screw holes on the back of the mount.
I cant wait to hear what the community thinks of this new release!!
Here's what Newbeedrone has to say about it:
Weighing just 16.5g, the Hummingbird V3.1 RaceSpec BNF Mini Drone is crafted for professional FPV racers seeking peak performance in a lightweight design. Its agility and speed make it the ideal choice for competitive pilots looking to dominate the race track.
Compliance is key for serious racers, and the Hummingbird V3.1 RaceSpec features an accurate 25mW VTX, ensuring that your output power stays within race-legal limits. No need to worry about getting disqualified for exceeding power limits—focus on your race with confidence.
In addition to VTX compliance, this drone offers the flexibility of multiple ESC PWM rates: 24kHz, 48kHz, and 96kHz. The factory default is set to 48kHz, which strikes the perfect balance between torque, smoothness, and efficiency. However, racers can easily adjust to 24kHz for more torque or 96kHz for smoother control. Just make sure to use the O-H-5 firmware to prevent any ESC damage. Powered by HMB RS 0702 30000KV motors, the Hummingbird V3.1 RaceSpec is designed to handle high-speed, competitive racing. Tuned with Betaflight 4.5 KAACK firmware, it provides the precise control you need to excel in every race.
