I converted my EMAX Nanohawk to a toothpick-style drone and increased the prop size to 40mm. It’s super fun! I call it my "NanoBug"! Parts list and links below.
You can also follow me on Instagram to see what I'm up to. I post pretty often these day:

If you convert a Nanohawk just like I show in this video, and you mount your props in the reverse direction (sometimes called "props out"), and you flash Emuflight 0.3.3, then you can use my full CLI dump: bit.ly/3ARdHHO
Here are the CLI to rotate board and remap motor (may require fixing the motor direction in ESC firmware). Works with any FC running Emuflight or Betaflight:
resource MOTOR 1 B07
resource MOTOR 2 B08
resource MOTOR 3 B10
resource MOTOR 4 B06
set align_board_yaw = 90
set yaw_motors_reversed = ON
