2016/12 WARNING: Think twice while ordering! In current state the ducts are brittle, too thin. Propellers make contact with ducts while flying. This leads to erratic behaviour. Also thrust is poor.



Banggood just announced a new 90 mm wheelbase FPV quadcopter - the FATBEE FB90.

To be honest, it looks like a toy, but it has some interesting Features:
It uses 2S batteries on 8520 Motors with 40mm (pseudo) ducted Propellers and the FC is the known SP RACING F3_EVO_Brush.
One can choose between different RX: DXM2, Flysky or Frsky.

It has the following specifications:
Size: 118*118*70mm
Flight controller: SP RACING F3_EVO_Brush
Motor: 8520 2S Brush Motor (3 – 8.4V)
Prop Size: 40mm
Camera: 520TVL HD CMOS 1/4 inch camera
Video Output format: PAL / NTSC
AV Wireless Transmitter: 5.8g 25mW 48CH
Battery: 7.4V 2S 400mah 25C Lipo battery
With LED_Strip function

The pictures seem to be frame only, e.g. no motors installed. Also no weight is given...

Looks cool, loving the fact you can get it with a flysky rx onboard

FlySky compatible, 8.5mm brushed, cleanflight, 2S support - Super Wooper!
Looks very nice! I bet it sounds like a bee, a FatBee

Lol that is cool , and it uses 8520's instead of killing the 7mm's

on banggood it says that the board can handle 3s, but that's probably not a good idea right since the motors can likely only do 2s?

They should call it the Big Whoop-Bee. Awesome specs -90mm size, ducted fans, with 2S power, built in fpv in the very front, and major RX options (especially Flysky) for that price sounds awesome. I could get used to the Bee gimmick. It would be easier to find in the bushes that the QX series... Any clue when this will be out?

Sorry FuriBee F110! , HELLO Eachine Fatbee FB90!!!

THIS is the one I will be getting, I mean, native DSM2 enabled as an option, plus the other interesting specs as noted. Perfect for my DX6 and I do like the smaller size.

Hopefully it will be an excellent companion to my Tiny Whoop and a bonus is that it's made by Eachine who have been putting out some decent stuff lately.

Video and RX antennas must be underneath the shell I guess? My dog is gonna love it!

Damn, Eachine is killing it lately.

The Wizard is a good mini quad, the E010 a good indoor LOS micro, the E5C a good outdoor LOS mini toy grade, and now a Tiny Whoop? If only those new VR D2's get their problems worked out with firmware then they would have a great lineup of quadcopters.

Sound a super fun machine but ... 2S & quadri-blades props ....... I am afraid about the durability of motors.... I remember a JJRC 2S model... where motors were killed after few flights.

this is just a smaller version of the furibee that gb are going to be selling >> https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show....php?t=2736825 though the furibee seems to have a better vtx with 25/200/600mw selectable transmit power

This sounds great, definitely keeping my eye out for this one.

Small observation: I think if they'd used angles (straight edges) and a more abstract "bee" design, it would have a less toy-like look.

We will see...
The pic in that thread of furibee are all computer generated images.
Maybe they will look the same at the end.
