7uvoK's Black Gold Remix: Black Gold has been my favorite quad to fly! I have been thinking about adding the RunCam Split 2 to it for a long time. One good wreck gave me the impetus to start...
You can purcahse this quad, or have me build a customized variant, here.
Same basic build as before, with the AIO FC and the RunCam being the major changes.
This FC can run TBS Smart Audio and SmartPort telemetry on the same UART! You need to use TX6 for Smart Audio and then remap RX6 to a soft serial port for SmartPort. I might make a video about how to do this, but I demonstrated it working here.
I dremelled out the side skirt so that I could access the Runcam's USB port to get to my HD video. I cannot get the FC's USB port, because the placement of it is this FC's main weakness. (I have to remove the skirt, the camera and one standoff to access the USB).
Here is maiden flight footage. I forgot to update to the deadcat motor mix, my VTX antenna elbow was failing and there were toddlers and pregnant ladies nearby (my own). So as a noob, I was being cautious.

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..
