Initial tests of this rig with 6" gatebreakers went really well, and when I put on the 7" HQs, it flew beautifully with a mostly stock tune. I'm getting roughly 25 minute flight times on Multistar 10C 5.2Ah 4S packs, and it flies a little heavy but still fine on a 6.6Ah multistar.

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..

Why so much TBS gear?
Is that a serious question?
Yep - other than convenience during assembly, are there many significant benefits to using so much TBS stuff on one quad?
That's a totally legit question, and I'm really sorry it's taken this long to answer it. The short answer is yes, and the reason is super tight integration between all the TBS electronics. The frame I chose because it's unique, and I wanted a sub-50g 7" frame. The motors are a nice low kv lightweight but still powerful choice for spinning 7" props. Crossfire is mandatory for me, because that's the LRS I'm invested in, and if I run crossfire I insist on having a TBS Core OSD. Since I wanted to stay light and go with 5.8GHz video, the FPVision that integrates the TBS core and a unify pro was the obvious choice, which indicates a powercube. The 4in1 powercube ESC is the lightest option and definitely beefy enough to spin these motors on 4S, and the colibri race is just the flight controller you use if you're running a cube.
