Brave man using Kiss ESCs, too many horror stories with them catching fire. No thanks! I hope that doesn't happen to yours.

That Daryoon's build is so sexy!!!

Yeah, people talk about solder balls on the boards. I clean mine up, but I've used them before with no problem. I guess everyone's experience is different. I might try some sn20A/BLHeli on my next build, or ZTW Spiders, but this PDB is sort of optimized for KISS ESCs, and I'm lazy ;-)

I like those lobe antennas. I haven't seen those before. How do they perform for you? Oh, BTW we use Markdown for the comments and descriptions, so you can clean up the RCGroups link with this format: [Link Text](URL)

They're still in the mail (from China), so I'll let you know. I was looking for some RHCP, RP-SMA antennas, to fit the weird little VTx (since it comes with these big honking ping-pong ball antennas that are just too big and unwieldy). They're surprisingly hard to come by.

Sounds good, looking forward to seeing some photos once you've got it together.

This BOM doesn't include spares (batteries, props, escs, motors, etc), and doesn't include all the various extra hardware you'll need for the customization.

Build a 5" Long Range Drone - Transformer Ultralight

Jun 21, 2021

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
