The AURORA ANGEL16 is a compact 75mm micro FPV quad designed for pilots who want a small, lightweight platform without giving up the responsive feel of a brushless FPV drone.
Its compact dimensions make it suitable for tighter flying spaces, while the 2S-capable power system gives it more performance than many basic beginner micro drones.
The aircraft combines:
- 75mm wheelbase
- 1103 11000KV brushless motors
- 1.6-inch tri-blade propellers
- ELRS 2.4GHz receiver
- Up to 400mW 5.8GHz VTX
- Caddx ANT analog FPV camera
These components are integrated into a small platform designed around simplicity and low weight.
75mm Carbon-Fiber Frame
The ANGEL16 uses a 75mm frame with a 2mm carbon-fiber bottom plate.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Wheelbase | 75mm |
| Frame Thickness | 2mm carbon fiber |
| FC Mounting | 25.5 x 25.5mm |
| Motor Mounting | 6mm |
| Frame Weight | 15g |
A small carbon-fiber frame helps keep the drone compact while providing a rigid platform for the motors and electronics.
The 25.5 x 25.5mm mounting format also gives the build compatibility with compact FPV electronics using the same mounting pattern.
1.6-Inch 1608 Tri-Blade Propellers
The ANGEL16 uses compact 1608 tri-blade propellers.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Diameter | 40mm |
| Pitch | 0.8 inch |
| Blade Count | 3 |
| Material | PC |
| Weight | 0.42g each |
| Center Hole | 1mm |
On a micro FPV drone, propeller choice has a noticeable effect on throttle response, efficiency, and handling.
The three-blade configuration is designed to provide responsive handling while keeping the propeller size appropriate for the compact frame.
1103 11000KV Brushless Motors
Power comes from four 1103 11000KV brushless motors.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Motor Size | 1103 |
| KV Rating | 11000KV |
| Configuration | 9N12P |
| Max Current | 5A |
| Battery Support | 1S–2S |
| Weight | 3.6g each |
The high KV rating is suited to the small propeller size and low-voltage micro FPV platform.
When paired with a suitable 2S battery, the motors are intended to provide fast throttle response and agile handling in a lightweight setup.
X14 All-in-One FPV Electronics Stack
One of the most important parts of the ANGEL16 is its compact X14 electronics stack. Instead of using several large separate boards, the system combines the main FPV electronics into a lightweight package.
Flight Controller
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| MCU | STM32G473CKU6 |
| IMU | ICM-42688-P |
| OSD | AT7456EI |
| Flash Memory | 16MB |
| BEC | 5V / 2A |
| Firmware Target | CRAZYBEEG473 |
The flight controller manages the drone's flight behavior and communicates with the ESC, receiver, and other onboard components.
ESC
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Continuous Current | 12A |
| Peak Current | 15A |
| Input Voltage | 1–2S |
| Firmware | BLHeli_S |
| Protocol | DSHOT300 / DSHOT600 |
For a micro FPV drone, integrating the ESC into the compact stack helps reduce wiring and overall build complexity.
Built-In ELRS 2.4GHz Receiver
The ANGEL16 uses an integrated ExpressLRS 2.4GHz receiver.
ELRS has become widely used in FPV because it offers low latency and strong control-link performance while supporting a broad range of compatible radio equipment.
Before purchasing or flying the ANGEL16, make sure your radio transmitter supports ELRS 2.4GHz.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Protocol | ELRS / CRSF |
| Frequency | 2.4GHz |
| Wi-Fi Support | Yes |
5.8GHz VTX with Up to 400mW Output
The onboard analog video transmitter supports multiple output levels:
10mW / 25mW / 100mW / 400mW (48 channels in the 5.8GHz analog FPV band)
Higher VTX output can help maintain a usable video connection under suitable conditions, but actual video performance depends on factors such as:
- Antenna quality
- Goggles or receiver
- Obstacles
- Interference
- Local regulations
- Flying environment
For this reason, it is better not to judge FPV range based on transmitter power alone.
Caddx ANT Analog FPV Camera
The ANGEL16 uses a Caddx ANT analog FPV camera.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Sensor | 1/3" CMOS |
| Resolution | 1200TVL |
| Video Format | NTSC / PAL |
| Aspect Ratio | 16:9 / 4:3 |
| Horizontal FOV | 150° |
| Weight | 2g |
Its compact size and low weight make it suitable for small FPV builds where every gram matters.
Because the ANGEL16 uses an analog FPV system, you will need compatible analog FPV goggles or an analog receiver.
Battery and Expected Flight Time
The ANGEL16 supports 2S LiPo / LiHV batteries, with recommended specifications of a 2S 450mAh battery.
Estimated flight time is listed at approximately 4–6 minutes, depending on battery choice, throttle use, flying style, and environmental conditions.
⚠️ Battery not included. Please note that batteries are not sold or included in the package. A compatible 2S 450mAh LiPo / LiHV battery must be sourced separately.
How Much Does the ANGEL16 Weigh?
The ANGEL16 is listed at approximately 40g without the battery.
Its compact size and low weight are part of what makes this type of micro FPV platform different from larger 3-inch or 5-inch freestyle drones.
Smaller aircraft can be easier to transport and can work well in tighter flying areas, although actual suitability always depends on the environment and pilot experience.
Who Is the ANGEL16 For?
The ANGEL16 is best suited to pilots looking for:
- A compact brushless micro FPV drone
- A small analog FPV platform
- ELRS 2.4GHz compatibility
- A lightweight 2S setup
- Something smaller than a typical freestyle quad
- A drone that can be easily transported
It may be especially interesting for pilots who already own an ELRS-compatible radio and analog FPV goggles.
New to FPV?
If this is your first FPV drone, it is important to understand that the ANGEL16 is not necessarily a complete ready-to-fly package. Depending on your configuration, you may also need compatible FPV goggles, a radio transmitter, batteries, and a charger.

ANGEL16 vs Larger FPV Drones
The ANGEL16 is very different from a conventional 5-inch FPV quad. A larger FPV drone generally offers more payload capability and higher overall power, while a 75mm micro drone focuses more on compact size and lightweight handling.
| ANGEL16 Micro FPV | Larger FPV Drone |
|---|---|
| Compact and lightweight | Larger and heavier |
| Easier to transport | Requires more carrying space |
| Small propellers | Larger propellers |
| Lower battery capacity | Larger batteries |
| Suitable for tighter areas | Better suited to open spaces |
| Analog micro setup | Wider range of analog/digital options |
Neither format is automatically better. The right choice depends on where you plan to fly and what type of FPV experience you want.
What's Included?
The standard ANGEL16 package includes:
- 1 x ANGEL16 frame
- 4 x 1103 11000KV motors
- 1608 tri-blade propellers
- 1 x X14 FC + ESC + VTX + receiver stack
- 1 x Caddx ANT camera

🔋 Battery not included.
Final Thoughts
The AURORA ANGEL16 combines a 75mm carbon-fiber frame, high-KV brushless motors, ELRS 2.4GHz control, an integrated analog video system, and compact FPV electronics into a lightweight micro platform.
Its biggest advantage is not simply raw power—it is the amount of FPV functionality packed into a small airframe. For pilots who already use analog FPV equipment and ELRS, the ANGEL16 offers an interesting option for adding a compact micro quad to their setup.
