Pinnacle of the Sun. Perfect.
TBRC Apex V2. First true wang build.
So this...project...has been a long long long time in the making. And maybe for good reason? I dunno any more.
All I know is that someone (he knows who) challenged me to finish this before a weekend hiatus to fly quads in a spooper secret location or I owed him beer. The usual...All day IPA...goddammit.
Anywhoo...here she is. My Apex, as well built as anyone with an absolute hatred for arts and crafts and who can't even draw a straight line! All in all, she turned out lovely! I had planned this build to use an Immersion RC Tramp with nfc tag (very nice) for video settings and some other choice components I had lying around, including the 2306-2450kv BH R6 motor, turnigy plush esc, and a Tiny (s)Led! Just fill in missing components, plenty of missing glue, laminate, covering iron, patience, and general wing building know how (thanks wrckit, jleyland (FU), FrankDubbs (FU2), and ToroFPV for their wise ideas about building) ((Also thanks to associated members of both Safety Third and FPVChat Slack channels for rooting me on for this)).
She's pretty much done at this point (9/5/18) and just needs to have the RX and vtx embedded in the foam before I seal it all up again (laminating is probably my most favorite part to hate) and maidening her all in one go.
DONE. MAIDENED. I'm Addicted.

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..

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..
