this is my vertical design from 2018. Proved and flying like a charm. 8 minutes flight time with 1080p video recording. 3s and 4s capable- depends on the ESC version.
Really snappy and lightweight and not falling under FAA regulation due to the fact the weight is below 250gr. more details on my blog www.scheisser.net
the frame has a special teardrop design to reduce airflow resistance. working on the successor, fully 3d printed with optimizations to the frame structure and weight reduction.

Thanks for your interest I tried a few materials. Started in prototyping with PLA but this was too brittle. The first flying prototype blue filament was polycarbonate. but this is a challenging material. the photos here show a special composite nylon glassfiber frame, but I also have some composites here. TPU I tried also but the filament I have here is too soft so the frame will not be stable. The frame feels quite sturdy but I changed already in my drawings a few parts to make it more stable. Goal is with the next version to get a superstable und optimized frame fully 3d printed as the carbon fibre plates are hard to manufacture and not everybody owns a cnc milling machine capable of doing such work. In case you are an experienced pilot without daily crashes you also can use the easy peasy PLA filament as it is easy to print and sturdy (but brittle as mentioned before)

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! 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..

winter time... I´ll try to work on my successor for this design and hope to post news soon.
