Build in progress... Parts picked by features, the color pink, looks, quality and whatever was more expensive :-D. Especially the motors that are actually priced in € and not $, at €149 a set. :-| Hopefully it will fly OK...
The frame is from Armattan! Lifetime warranty included.
I'm building two of these. ;-)
Update: It flies great!
Also I did some tricky slomo IG video on spinning EgoDrift motors ;-) The build quality is pristine!

Can you give some details how you connected the 4-in-1 ESC's to the Betaflight F3 flight controller? I'm having doubt using 4 seperate ESC's or using a 4-in-1 solution. Heard somewhere in Joshua Bardwell's reviews from the BFF3 board that it's not really beneficial in combination with a 4-in-1 ESC solution due to losing some voltage or amp reading in your OSD? I'm curious how you wired everything up, if you could add some photo's for detail that would be awesome. Thanks!
Yeah the only thing i felt with this combo of BFF3 and 4-in-1 is that I don't get to use the current sensor (CS) since it needs to be in-line with the power from the LiPo to the ESCs. And to get the full amps thru the BFF3 I would need to solder a harness of powercables from each ESC pad down to the 4-in-1 bat pads. I've never really used a CS so I don't miss it as much. I have noticed that there is 4-in-1ESC:s with builtin CS:s available. I would check those out before this Racerstar one. The DYS F4 also looks like a nice alternative to the BFF3 on the basic specs at least. But as always in this hobby you must eventually pull the trigger and get something flying ;) So this i what I got and and I am happy to say that this machine is finally up in the air as of today and it flies beutifully :-)

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..

What heat braid did you use to cover the wires? It looks a lot nicer than the stuff I've been using!
It is paracord 550 4mm thick. A little bit of a tight fit around the solder joints when extending motor wires. I'm using 20awg cable and thin heatshrink around those joints and some black heatshrink to hold it in place as you can se. Next time I will probably go for 5mm or 6mm. I bought about 16meters though so realistically I'm stuck with these for quite a while ;-)
Paracord is a great shout, think I'll go 5mm and see! Gorgeous build too! Cheers
