- The page separates a 2026 Carbon Mini’s estimates from measured 2020 Carbon eHelp figures and labels flight results as video-reported.
Field notes
The eHelp parts breakdown names twelve components, including a CNC-cut carbon plate, printed battery supports, an ESP32 carrier case, and a folding kickstand. The specifications compare a 2026 Carbon Mini build with measured figures for a 2020 Carbon eHelp; the page says the latter’s flight results were reported in project videos. It lists parts costs under $2,500 including batteries and chargers.
