Awesome little quad. Extremely stable.
Hey Micah - very cool build - any FPV footage yet? Love to see how she flies...considering this frame for my next build, and wanted to know how stable and durable it is. :)
Sorry I'm in Jamaica until Sunday and it's the only one I have on me. I'll post more Sunday or Monday.
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..

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..

What is this type of frame design called?
y4-copter
typically you call these things by a symbol that looks like the frame and the number of rotors (so a typical quadcopter is mostly x4, some build "+4" instead) Also, you could do something like this Y4 but instead with 6 rotors, 2 on each arm, making it Y6 or you could go T-Shaped, to make it T4 or T6.
Don't confuse it with Tricopters - those would be Y3 and either need an tilting servo on one of the motors or they come with different rotor sizes.
