We Built an FPV Drone That Fits in a Pringles Can. Because We Could.

Some people see a perfectly good BetaFPV Air 65 and think, 'Yes, this is fine.' Our resident tinkerer, Sam, saw it and thought, 'I can make this smaller. Impractically smaller.' The result is a 25-gram quad with a 22mm motor spacing that, crucially, fits inside a Pringles can. You know, for snacking emergencies.

The magic, if you can call it that, involves gutting the Air 65 for its electronics and transplanting them into a custom 3D-printed frame. This marvel of questionable engineering features overlapping props and requires the patience of a saint, a very small drill, and an acceptance that things will go wrong. It flies, sure, but calling it a 'daily driver' would be a heroic overstatement.

Don't expect prop guards, graceful takeoffs, or the ability to survive a minor disagreement with a houseplant. This is a science experiment, not your next park flyer. For those who enjoy a bit of a challenge, or just want to stare into the tiny abyss of FPV absurdity, you can find the free STL files and the full, unabridged tale of how this tiny terror came to be in our original blog post.
