The Rekon 3.5 is what I always wanted the original #MicroLongRage to be; Sub 250g and powered by a 2S Li-Ion!
Two years ago, the components to make such a concept work properly just weren’t available: Electronics were not running reliably when the power supply dropped below 5V, efficient motor-prop combos with the right size weren’t available and building DIY 2S Li-Ion packs was laborious. But the FPV industry has made a stunning amount of progress and today, with the support of HGLRC the Rekon 3.5 is finally making it happen. You can simply use cheap off-the-shelf 18650 batteries and the electronics are so reliable that in an emergency you can empty the Li-Ion batteries way below the recommended voltage without any impact on the FPV video feed and radio control link.

Our experiences with the Rekon 3 have shown that the type of 18650 batteries used can affect the performance of the quad and might lead to misfunctions. Please be careful to slowly test out the flight time limits of the specific batteries you are using
Unfortunately, diodes performing well enough to serve as reverse polarity protection without significantly impacting performance simply don’t exist. Therefore, please be aware that the Rekon3.5 has no reverse polarity protection and inserting the batteries the wrong way will permanently damage the electronics.
