Wen't for a very clean color coded look.
Very similiar in spec to the bnf xjb145 but custom build from discounted products on gearbest/banggood :)
About 140g dry with the cam holder top plate. 134g without it (I am removing it when flying without gps or an hd cam).
Meassured topspeed of 85mph / 136kmh with Rotorx 3044t props - I am now using gemfan flash 3052 which seem even faster.
Flight time is about 3-3.5 min. of rather aggresive flying.
- XT60 heatshrinked to black, 3d printed softmounts for stack and motors as well as a 3d printed axii atenna holder
- Custom 3d printed plate for the tx20 on f428 stack to fit an xm+ receiver
- Optional GPS module for speed measurements - adds 9g to the build
- UART6 and 5V/GND via seperate plugs to attach GPS or HD cam ala SQ12/Cyclops3

Nice build. I want to build one of these too.
Where can I get one of those GPS module for speed measurements?
That would be cool to put on
Nope you just need a free uart and hook up 5v/gnd/tx/rx - make sure to connect rx GPS to tx FC and tx GPS to rx FC
You won't get return to home or stuff like that as there is no barometer on it but for speed and location it works fine.

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..

What is the reason for flying 3S vs 4S in this build?
I selected the wrong lipo in the BOM :)
Only fly this 4s - GNB 850 are my favorite - thx for pointing it out!
Awesome! Thanks for the quick reply. Parts will be ordered this week.
I would have three more questions for you:
It's one of my favorite 3" so good choice!
There is some more stuff like bumpers and sharkfins you can print.
I have a hmdvr-s mounted on top now and replaced the cam with a micro monster since posting the build.
Excuse the dirty quad - it has not been cleaned much :D
I'd recommend Gemfan 3052 Props! They rip!
Btw I personally have had great experience using the uxii instead of the axii in other builds. Uxii is a little smaller/lighter and the antenna cable is shorter - if I would rebuild this one I would use an uxii instead.
Some people think they are crap tho so a matter of opinion :)
Thanks a lot. That was a very big help
