This is going to be my race build for this year. All parts are from RDQ. Hoping to put some emax ls 2206 2550kv on at a later date. Working on a budget right now.
I maidended it fpv last week. I flys great! About 2:30 flight time on 5040 cyclones when going crazy. Needed longer motor screws so I didnt strip the motors. I just got them and plan to start praticing with gates soon.

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..

Why would you want to downgrade your motors? Are these killing your batteries?
The emax ls motors would be higher quality than what I have now. They are a $17 motor, compared to a $10 motor. I dont know yet if they kill batteries. I have a feeling they wont. I want the ls2206 so I can make it lighter.
Im going to maiden it tomorrow.

Good point.
