Blue Boy 200

Second Garuda 200 build.
This was the original spec of my first Garuda build but the zmx motors were difficult to find at the time. Overall, this build was a dream to assemble. My first Garuda, the 'canopy killer', required lots of attention due to my desires to crash more than fly. The attention to repair has dialed in my workflow for the Garuda layout so it was a natural fit to use this frame for my second build.
No fancy LED's yet, but I channeled my inner Lazd and fought to keep this a clean as I possibly could. I'm very excited with the way this build finished. This is supposed to be a backup to the Canopy Killer, so hopefully it'll stay pretty for a while, but I highly doubt it.

How did you mount your vtx?
Im having a bit of issues figuring out where to mount the angry beez vtx. hmm

Looks good. On my Garuda I actually changed it out to use a longer pigtail now. The constant tension on a short pigtail caused mine to eventually break.

yeah, no issues. I used to do it with the hole in the canopy but i ended up putting a lot of pressure on the xt60. none of my batteries have long battery leads. I'll get some fresh pics soon.

that explains some of my breakage I've had in the battery area also.
the battery connection just looks so good neatly tucked in that holder

yeah I had some breakage too so I'm running like in the picture now. Works good just gotta make sure the battery is somewhat centered for COG

Don't let the price fool you. You only listed a single esc and motor ;)

Lol, I thought something was off. Loving the new improvements, adding the parts was painless

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..
