I recently slapped together a 716 powered 65mm brushed Whoop running Silverware firmware for buzzing around my house/basement Whoop course this winter. Figured I'd share the build for anyone looking to do something similar. Santa filled my stocking with all sorts of Whoop related goodies this Christmas, so I'll have a couple more Whoop builds coming soon. They will all be running Silverware, but will have different frames, motors, and props, in order to keep their flying characteristics a bit different from one another. The little Kwad is built on a BetaFPV Evil Sleek Frame, and Canopy combo. It is running a BetaFPV Silverware Flight Controller, Tiny Whoop Bald Eagle Sauce 19,100kv 7x16mm motors, and Gemfan 31mm props. For camera/VTX duties it is running the BetaFPV Z02 AIO camera and M01 25mw VTX with OSD. Don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have. Edit-1/2/2020 Here is some DVR footage of a quick maiden flight. I still need to make a few settings changes in the DVR. I just got this Makerfire Mini DVR modified to work with my Fat Shark Predator V2 goggles.

There's a new 4s 4 inch coming our way in the style of the popular Toothpick. Although I don't think we can really consider it a Toothpick, the GEPRC Dolphin 153mm 4 Inch certainly looks interesting. Hopefully this means we might see a similar 5 inch set up in the near future
