About two months ago I stumbled across a YouTube video of a guy who built an X210 with a Lumenier Race Pod and I really liked it, so I decided to build one for myself with some parts I had leftover from previous builds. Last week, I ordered a Space One FPV Meteor frame after seeing a build of one here on RotorBuilds. Because the X210 still hadn't shown up, I decided to use all the parts I set aside for it to build the Meteor!
The Meteor was an easy frame to build. There was plenty of room for all the components and compared to all of my other builds, it's pretty light at only 314 grams without the battery. I only had a micro camera on hand so I had to get a little creative with the mount. I'm going to have some mounts printed up soon to push the camera farther forward in the frame. These will also give me the ability to run some more camera angle. Right now I'm limited to about 20 degrees due to the capacitor location.

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..

NVM I just saw your profile pic, but still unsure if thats the DX6 or DX8!!! If you have the DX6 what are your thoughts and thanks again!!
I have the newest DX6 and I love it. I feel like I discover more things it can do every day. Thanks for the kind words on the build and videos.
Hey no problem and thanks for the reply!! Happy Flying!!
Hey Doobie52,
I just got my Dx6 yesterday and Im coming from a Dx8 Gen1, and I got to tell ya im missing the extra channels on the Dx6 which I knew in going into buying it. My question to you is on my Dx8 I had 1 Aux for Arming, 1 Aux for H / A / A flight modes and a 1 Aux for Extra Failsafe. Now with the DX6 I have 1 Aux for Arm and 1 Aux for Failsafe and no switches for any flight modes, so just straight Acro which honestly is the only way to go. Is this how you are doing things and thanks for your time!!
I don't have my radio in front of me but I use two switches on the right side of the transmitter. On the top right, I believe it's switch "A" that I use for arming (2 position switch AUX 1). On the front right of the radio, I believe it's switch "D" (3 position AUX 2) I use that for flight modes. I have it set up for Angle, Horizon, and Acro Mode. If you're using Betaflight, you don't need a seperate switch for the failsafe becuase it works automatically.
It's easy to use the AUX 2 switch to do multiple functions, but it's hard to explain without showing you on the transmitter and setting it up in Betaflight.
Oh no worries, you helped alot just know and thanks for the reply I will be keeping the DX6 now:) I guess I have been alittle cautious with failsafe thats why I had a extra layer. Also you were not kiding the DX6 even thou its missing extra channels it makes up for it w/ newer features. WOW to beable to use 11ms Frame rate is awesome!!! Thanks again for helping a guy out Cheers!!!
No problem man. If you hit any roadblocks, just ask and I'll see if it's something I've already figured out.
Thanks!!
