Classic 2 inch micro the X2 Elf. Adding 22mm aluminum standoffs to better fit the flight stack. This little bugger want to fly, pops off the ground with very little throttle on 2s 450 and 550mah batteries. Hell of a time getting it to fly right, had oscillations galore, ended up with custom motor mix and dropping all the PID's way down. Feels a little on the loose side right now, working on bringing the PIDs up a bit.

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!
