Since i loved my superlight build Kuro i decided to make a second super light with some spare motors i had. I wanted to use the same frame but and similar components. The only difference from this build and Kuro is Shiro has Lumenier 2204 2500kv skitzo motors, a canopy and is bottom mount. This quad also hauls ass and handles well but handles different from my Kuro. I turned Shiro into bottom mount to compare the differences between top mount and bottom mount. I do notice a difference and to be honest switching between each sucks. There is always an adjustment period since they feel different. Pro tip just pick a setup and stick with it, changing from bottom mount to top mount to me makes a huge difference.

End weight 218g the canopy added a little weight.

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..
