My first FPV quad was a 3s ZMR 250 clone, with the best parts I could afford at the time. After a year of constant battering and crashing, it was time to give the old girl a rest and build a new quad: The QAV-X.
This has been a wholesale upgrade, with perhaps the exception of props. I wanted an true X frame running a full Kiss setup (D-shot) with 4s batteries, Emax red bottom race editions, and the new Lumenier AXII Antenna. She flies like a dream (to me) and I've been extremely happy with this quad so far.
Here's some footage of us flying:

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..

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!

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..

Dang man! Looking nice and clean! Have you flown a fully kiss'd quad before?
Nope, this is my first one and I love it. My last quad was a Naze32 running Betaflight.
So you've flown it? Which firmware you running? Try dshot yet?
Sure have! Just posted a video. I believe it's the latest 1.03, and yes, with D-shot. This thing is a blast to fly, and so so smooth on default KISS pids.
Awesome man. I just upgraded to the latest dshot build last night, had a few test packs today, and I think my mid-throttle oscillation issue is much better. Hopefully I don't hit any kiss-beta-bugs, but so far so good man!
