This is my 2nd build from scratch and definitely one of the most challenging. The low profile makes it extremely hard to fit everything. I recommend not using a 4n1 esc on this frame ever lol. currently running the micro sparrow 2 but soon will be installing the predator mini pro. Also a mach2 from rdq does fit nicely but I do recommend the ufl just because the tbs pig tail rear plate is nicer imo. Great quad so far. Never thought this size quad could feel so small/balanced in the air.
Update: pred mini is in and love the color combo!
Update 6-20-18: Finally 100% complete! Stuck with the 4in1 esc but looks great either way.

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..
