5S ROOSTER W/ DSHOT1200 & BAROMETER W/ ALTITUDE OSD.
Roughly 1.75kg thrust per motor (given the 4s bench tests and 5052 props - this set-up uses 5s and avan-r props which are 60+ degree pitch). 7kg thrust / 681g all up (see image) = 10.3:1 thrust to weight. I would put high estimates at more like 8kg of thrust and 12:1 thrust to weight.

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..
