Aerial Outlaws Shrieker Class BNF by PickleRick
Aerial Outlaws Shrieker Class BNF by PickleRick
Why We Made It
There’s all kinds of BNFs out there, but none that I felt were truly up to my personal standard for competitive racing. None that were truly premium. I really wanted to release a BNF that was using all of the best parts right out of the box and is built well.
Video coming soon!
Choosing Parts
The first step was to secure all the best parts to put together into one build. After lots of testing and consulting with several pilots, we landed on the perfect parts list that would be suitable for top level performance and work perfectly for the pilots trying to get there. Your build DOES matter and these are the exact parts I use with 0 compromises. The video above explains exactly why each part was chosen but the whole parts list is just below
Parts List
- BetaFPV F4 ELRS FC
- VCI 702 27,000kv Motors

There’a not a single whoop manufacturer that makes all the best parts, so to get a pro level build, you have to use parts from several different brands.
Built by PickleRick
Having the best parts only gets you so far if you don't have the best builder. Building a top level whoop takes tons of work and going the extra mile. This means adding a resistor to the VTX, using lightweight wires, swapping hardware, direct soldering everything, using the lightest weight parts, and all the other tricks used by the best builders. Most whoop pilots have never built a whoop like this because of the extra cost, the difficulty involved to build it, and the extra time and care it takes to go that extra mile. For this reason, it was important to have the right person complete these builds.
Launie Wade (aka "PickleRick") is the perfect man for this job. Known for his incredibly lightweight builds, he has no issues making whoops that are the envy of many. You won’t see any mass manufactured whoops built like this.
If you’re curious, you can see all the details of the build in the video at the top of this description!
Ultra Lightweight
These BNF's all weigh in at 16.9 or 17.0g. That makes this BNF the lightest one on the market! This is a significant feat considering this build prioritized using the best performing parts (some of which are heavier than other options) and making a durable build that would last. It turns out, you CAN have it all.
Ultra Durable
These BNFs were made with durability in mind. The flight controller is bottom mounted, creating space inbetween the camera and flight controller. This helps prevent hard impacts into the flight controller, especially because we put foam inbetween the camera and flight controller to be extra safe! The flight controller has also been rotated 90 degrees to keep the all important ELRS receiver out of the impact zone! These modifications all add some weight over alternative building methods for the sake of longevity, which is why it's so remarkable that this BNF is still the lightest one on the market.
Camera Mount and Camera Angle
This BNF features the BikeGuy camera mount, the most versatile lightweight camera mount on the market. This mount features a variable camera angle, which is allows you to dial in the perfect camera angle for your flying style. It comes preinstalled at about 38 degrees, which is perfect for getting started with this fast style of racing. It does have options to both raise and lower the camera angle, however.
ELRS Bind Phrase
These whoops will come with ELRS 3 preinstalled on them. Binding is as simple as plugging in the whoop, waiting for 1 minute, and then using your phone or computer to connect to the “ExpressLRS RX” WiFi network it creates. From there, you will be able to enter in the bind phrase used on your ELRS 3 transmitter and get an instant bind.
If you would like us to do this for you, we can absolutely do that. Just include your bind phrase in your order notes.
