I'm collecting parts to make the perfect brushless whoop.

I plan to use BetaFPV 0603 motors when they become available from Kados.

03/27/18 - KADOS' BETAFPV order is now IN! GO GO GO BUY BUY BUY! I ordered my frame, motors, props, and canopy today.

04/02/18 - I soldered in my motor connectors, 2.0 Battery Pigtail, and added an RX2A Pro. The RX pads from left to right UART Signal, 5v, Gnd. The FC/RX power up just fine. I need to get an aio cam. One odd thing about this FC and frame is where it sits. The FC will lay all the way at the base of the standoffs so there's no actual way to hold it down. I plan to use the rubber gummies I didn't use on other builds to pin it against the frame. Then a clear canopy from Kados to hold the cam.

Binding the radio
Turn on the radio. The LED on the radio will turn green to indicate that the radio is on.
While holding down the BIND button on the quadcopter, plug it in. A red LED or the shark’s heart will blink rhythmically. This means that the aircraft is in binding mode.
Ensuring that the radio is already on, hold down the power button for 10-15 seconds until the green LED starts to blink quickly. That puts the radio in binding mode.
With both units in binding mode, the systems should automatically pair within seconds. The heartbeat of the shark will change pattern to reflect this, but be advised: it may happen quickly.
No other indication will show that the radio and quadcopter are bound. To test the bind, power off the entire system then turn everything back on. At this point, try testing the ARM switch on the top right corner of the radio to check to see if the switches are configured. Flip the arm switch a few times to see if the quadcopter blades power up. If the propellers don’t spin up, move onto the switch configuration section.

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..
