don't buy that Eachine Minicube F3-Stack - it's crap!
I'll need to do something with leftover parts from my last quad - so why not build a new one?
I had most parts still around - apart from motors and the baseplate of that frame (already ordered, the last frame was something custom, only the baseplate has been used). So it's another 3 inch racer.
This time a lightweight though, with a tiny F3 AIO-Stack, including 4in1 ESC and Buzzer (got that thing really cheap) - the last one was a pretty heavyweight with high-KV 1408-Motors and RunCam Split2.
Motors are only rated for 1/2s, but I've seen others using them on 3s without problems... stack is also usable on 3s, so I'll try. :D
Maiden is still not done, but everything seems to mostly work.

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..
