Appearance

Motors

Eachine TRASHCAN is equipped with 0803 16000KV brushless motors. They work in a compartment with 6A type 4-in-1 speed regulators Blheli_S on the Dshot600 protocol. According to the manufacturer's specification, each motor provides a max. thrust 55 grams.

Nice plus for those who are not friends with a soldering iron. It is not required to replace the Eachine TRASHCAN motors as they are connected via the PH2.0 connector

FPV

First person flight is realized using FPV camera - Caddx EOS2 built on 1/3-inch CMOS matrix. Provides a resolution of 1200TVL, with a viewing angle of 160 °. The angle of inclination is changeable: from 0 to 35 °. A 40-channel video transmitter operating in the 5.8 GHz band with a switchable power of 25/200 mW is responsible for the transmission of the video stream in real time. The quality of the tandem's work deserves respect.

Power supply

Four high voltage lithium polymer batteries (LiHV) are included in the kit - Eachine 3.8V 300mAh 40C / 80C. The flight can be realized both from one battery, and from two, where the latter option provides the maximum return on flight performance. For flying on one battery, the included jumper is usedcable with XT30

Price and start of sales

The developer does not specify the start date of sales. Eachine TRASHCAN is currently available for pre-order on the Banggood marketplace at:

  1. PNP version (no RX) - $ 89
  2. BNF version (with RX optional: Frsky NON-EU; Flysky AFHDS / AFHDS-2A switchable; DSM2 / DSMX) - 95 $

Cons

  • No RTF bundle

Based on the developer's specification and the first test reviews, in the near future time on the market of household UAVs in the "nano" segment there will be an excellent brushless TinyWhoop, flight potential, durability, and most importantly, the price of which will be able to compete with existing more expensive brands. The presented model will be fully appreciated not only by advanced, but also by novice users for whom the quadric will be able to act as a full-fledged FPV simulator with the prospect of drone racing, thanks to which beginners will be able not only to learn how to safely fly in such modes as ACRO and AIR, but also later get acquainted with the software that allows you to fine-tune the flight characteristics of the drone. For those who have just started to master the unmanned hobby, we note that the Eachine TRASHCAN does not fly out of the box. To implement the flight, the user will need control equipment that supports operation with one of the three receivers available for BNF, as well as FPV goggles
