Has anyone attempted to lighten their Nano+?
if so, wondering what method you undertook, and what the final weight may have been.
It seems that flying in the UK means the weight must be UNDER 250g, but with the required registration label with prescribed text height, my Nano+ is right at 250g.
Labeling aside, I would like to add a strobe, which weighs in at 3g, without the weight of an attachment means. Given the density of the strobe device, I would expect to have to remove a great deal of plastic from the nano to shave equivalent weight, and I’m not convinced there is enough there to sacrifice.
I don’t see many opportunities for lightening, short of boring holes in the rear landing gear, but without some spare gear to tinker with, I don’t expect that boring holes there would cut much weight, without sacrificing strength.
Boring holes in the body sides near the battery compartment would be another option, but I wouldnt know if any wiring exists in this area (although I doubt any could be present).
