Dragonfly (Hoverbot Nano)
By anisoptera on Jan 26, 2017
This is my second brushless build. I was looking for a micro that could be flown both inside and outside, while also looking nice. When the Hoverbot came out I was immediately enchanted by how clean and cute it looked. I had several of the parts already lying around (like the tx03) so I got the rest of the bits from Banggood, including two colors of motor.
The build went surprisingly smoothly, given the size of the quad. I had a tussle with the rx - apparently this one doesn't send back telemetry, and my sbus jumper had desoldered itself, so I thought I wasn't correctly binding. But once I resolved that issue and added dental floss to the props, it flies well!
Final weight with battery was 72g. The battery is about 19g on its own.
I'm very happy with it (and happy to be finally done!)

How well do those props fit on the racerstars? I'm getting mixed messages from people. I've heard people say the shaft is too small so the props are loose and I've heard that the props are very tight on the shafts. Have you ran into any issues?
ive had a few fly of these fly off but they dont come with screws and the holes are bigger than m2 possibly m2.5 which i have any of :(
the ones ive got on now seem to be staying on tho :)
im gonna order some eachine 2035's next time see how they hold up (would love to see some diff colours of them tho) plus i can use the screws for these ones if the eachine ones break :D

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..

Is that camera any good and isnt it a bit heavy compared to the others on the market ATM such as this http://www.banggood.com/CM275T-5_8G-25mW-48CH-NTSCPAL-Mini-VTX-600TVL-FPV-Camera-for-DIY-Micro-FPV-Racer-p-1102464.html?rmmds=cart
