A clean, black ZMR250.
Looks like a good value and a clean build. Nice choice on the Xiaomi Yi, I love mine! Might want to label your flight controller as it's under "Misc Parts" at the moment.
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..

Apologies for the silly question, another newbie here.. I like those ESC's and the option to get them with BLHeli, but I'm still trying to figure out the wiring. What are the black and white twisted cables getting soldered to? I see the red to positive and black to negative, but are there 2 (white/black twisted) cables that need to communicate with the FC, or is it just the white for signal to FC, and the smaller black is just another negative cable?
The white wire is the signal wire that you hook to the FC, and the black is a ground wire that you also hook to the FC. Personally, I snipped the ground wire off the ESC and only ran the white wire from the ESC to the FC. Others have said they had ESC de-sync problems when they did that, but since my entire system shares a common ground through the SimplePDB, I have not experienced any problems.
