This is my first full build using an Iflight XL5 Version 2 carbon frame. I started with the V1 frame, then moved over to V2.
With multiple crashes into trees and into the ground, neither frame has been broken, yet :).

Originally, I had the EMAX 2205 2300KV motors on this quad. But, I wanted a little more power;
so, I went with the F60 Pro II 2500KV's. These motors,unlike the EMAX 2205's run hot. Im not sure why, but they are more than warm
after 20 minutes of pushing them.
I have tried various props - EMAX AVAN, ButterCutter's, HQ's, but I love how the AzurePower props compliment the power of this machine.

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
