Airframe
...
Pegasus is an X-frame configuration and motor arms attached directly to a straight aluminum block. Here are some of the key notes:
...
Motors are mounted on 3d printed mounts with a <pattern> (insert a photo if you can).
Propulsion
...
Pegasus uses 4 T-Motor Antigravity MN6007II kv160 motors. These motors are designed to run on 12s voltage and are wired to APD 120F3[x] v2 ESCs. The ESC’s are significantly overspecced and are designed to allow for continuous operation in high ambient heat environments and minimal passive cooling, although this is not a recommended mode of operation.
