Blame Apple for making awesome packaging... I can never throw it out. Instead it sits gathering dust in my hall closet waiting for the day when transmogrification allows it "Fly Like a Brick."
I used 'semi-obsolesced' hardware guts from an older quad (Naze5/SN20 based, also gathering dust) and hand fab'd a one-off frame to fit into the iPhone 6S box using thin ply, ShapeLock, and some QAV-R 6" arms I had on hand. Wanting a clean 'Foose-like' exterior meant sacrificing optimal antenna placement within the box itself... despite this, still had good video. Also, CG is a challenge given the LIPO rides at the tail end of the box... counter-weighting necessary.
Shout Out to my team mate @ALDERBOYFPV for chase footage as well as 'mobile platform launch' footage! (Totally his idea...)
