EDITED: Added TBS Masterpilot Pro 2400kv motors

A backup quad build from parts laying around. It flies surprisingly well, 328g all in without battery. I don't see many Bangarang builds in here so hopefully this will help. A really sturdy frame, stretched X (I thought it wasn't) and skinny arms. More of a race quad frame, but still top-mountable battery. OEM 30A BLHeli_S ESCs which I can't find a link to yet. Designed and 3D-printed my own rear antenna mount.

I've broken one so far, but it took quite a beating to break them. The carbon fiber is pretty solid and does not break easily.

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..
