Latest iteration has the VTX antenna stuffed inside and pod wrapped in vinyl. Added some stickers and LEDs to make it faster too.

very nice .. can i have the link of the carbon wrap please , thanks :)
Thank you , do you think it's gonna be ok with this one from BG? http://www.banggood.com/3D-Carbon-Fiber-Vinyl-Wrap-Film-Car-Vehicle-Sticker-Sheet-Roll-10x20cm-p-960026.html
@Whiffles The vinyl is very thin and flexible, and warmed up with a heatgun it's easy to stretch it around pretty complex curves.
@nikitastealth I haven't had good luck with cheap vinyl, the ones I've tried are either really hard to stretch around curves or don't have the air channels to prevent bubbles, but hey for less than 3 bucks it's worth a try.
By far one of the sexiest frames currently out on the market. Clean, simple, effective. 266g is VERY respectable!!
Awesome build!
May i ask how you mounted that aomway antenna? Very interested in this mounting technique.
Did you solder a wire to the top part of it?
Is it possible to change the VTX channel without taking the canopy off?
Also, what'd she end up weighing without battery?

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..
