Update 2 (26 Apr 2018): Current top speed at 204kph (126mph)! Cobra 2207 2600kv paired with APC 5x4.6x2 on 5S!
Update: Current top speed at 187kph (116mph)! Cobra 2207 2600kv paired with Emax Avan-R props!
I'm currently tweaking this quad to break 125mph (200kph). Current top speed recorded is at 116mph (187kph). Measurements done by BN-180 GPS linked to Betaflight OSD.
I'm all ears for any suggestions you guys have!
Interestingly, 2 motor-prop combos hit the same current top speed:
Hypetrain 2306 2400KV running Emax Avan-R props
Cobra 2207-2600kV running the upcoming HQ 5.1x5.1x3 props
I'm currently testing more twin-bladed props on the 2600KV Cobras to see if the 125mph barrier can be broken. Next up is the EMAX Avan-S and APC series.
The weighty Cobras are a concern, despite a higher KV - the Hypetrains may still be the answer!

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..
