'super-merica! real windy today - got 6 flights in and it gets pushed around a bit but this quad is realy awsome

smashed it into a wall, and caught it in a tree - this sucker keeps ticking. I brush it off and keep going. Still getting at least 2 packs every day as I commute home and it keeps getting more fun to fly each time.

STILL flying this guy daily - freeking awesome! the default PIDs were so good that I haevnt touched them. I have BEAT this thing up.,.,., its tough. I placed the KISS/OSD on the piggy, mucho better-o. Its much more quite than my 5" reverb so I can fly this guy in places that I could never fly the 5"

Love it. I have been planning a three inch build for over 5 months now and all the frames I looked at had one or two annoying little flaws. The only thing I would be concerned about would be the bottom mount 3 inch frame. pulling out of dives, bottom mounts tend to not like it when you dont absolutely murder the throttle. What's this frame like?
Well... I think this quad is near perfect - but i am biased! This is a bit heavier than the last setup I had all the electronics in (ImpuseRC Redux) but allows for a MUCH cleaner setup. Will it be perfect for you? not sure. But I will say that I have not experiened what you are talking about. Are you using a Kiss CC? I prefer the Kiss stuff, I havent used a Betaflight product I like yet. (Well, except for my AlienWhoop! holy cow that guy is awesome! https://rotorbuilds.com/build/11743)

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..

Really nice build!! I plan to build a 3" merica too....and I wnt to know if 450 mah battery is enough with your motors?? What is your flight time?
2 minutes, i have got to figure somthing out here because i need more air time!
well...I have a beautiful 3" Japalura with same set up (except a Caddx Turtle for HD and nanorx crossfire!) . I use gemfan 3052 and 850 mah 4S Tattu. My fly time is 4 min 30 .... so i'm very happy with my setup!

Awesome, I will look into the larger capacity batteries. Fun quad, and quiet, but the short flight time is bothersome. the batteries also sag a bit so i will try somthing new here.
