Some brushed action for the winter

It has been a while since I posted something here. It is not because my project is dead, it is more because I spent my hobby time with flying and not with making new things. The derbe evo is almost perfect and I am very happy with it, so I don't see the need to design a new frame currently. But I am currently rewriting my flightcontroller code in order to achieve a faster control loop frequency. 1000 Hz should be possible on my 8bit ATXmega32A4. I will achieve this by using integers instead of floating point variables, and by removing every unnecessary line of code. But recently, I bought an Eachine QX90 (always wanted to adapt my own flight controller for a small brushed copter, but there was not enough time...). And it flies great. I however changed it a bit, here is my setup: QX90 original FC (stock firmware, see settings in the pictures below) Standard motors Gemfan 65mm propellers Custom frame (weight: 5.5g, see pictures below) Eachine TX01 cam with dipole antenna Tu
