In this build I used a new Martian II anniversary special edition with some components from another quad I used to fly in the beginning of 2017 (Lisam LS210).

The intention is have a functional quad that I can practice freestyle without concern too much about a lot of money involved to build the aircraft.

New componentes:

  • Frame Martian anniversary special edition
  • RX FrSky XM+
  • Motor protetors
  • Matek LED and buzzer
  • Amass XT60
  • Suleve Standoffs

All others components are old and even the set of props I took the picture already flew one pack.
I just didn't like where the FPV antenna is, but with de pigtail on the VTX I really need to think the best option.

This frame is good and well cut, but I needed to sand it to get a better finish. The arms don't look be very firm even with the 3 screws, but may be is just may impression.

I hope you enjoy the build.

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..
