This is probably the best middle ground between a Tiny Whoop and a mini pushing 5inch+ props. I can fly where my mini can't and the tiny whoop is still better for indoor slow stuff.
You can drop the build price by almost $50 if you go for the cheaper DYS BE1104 from banggood and some 10A ESC. I went with the more pricey Furious ESC cause I really wanted to try Blheli_S and wanted fast shipping.
Quality components come at a price and this micro is more expensive than some 5 or 6 inch kits!!!

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.
