I specked this build out while in Afghanistan during the summer of 2018. The goal here is to build a beast of a race quad that can be multipurpose. One quad for freestyle and for racing. Time will tell if I hit the mark.
All 3d printed parts were printed on my Creality CR-10 in Sainsmart blue TPU.

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..

The Diatone 2018 GT is a FAST frame (especially the stretched version). I have 2, and unfortunately due to a substandard battery strap) I lost power in the midst of a high G turn and tore one all to hell. Im in the midst of rebuilding it (hey now I can do it the right way now that I've built quite a few more). I think you'll find that the 6MM arms are just about the strongest you'll find on a quad. The hinged canopy makes working on these a breeze and really they build quite easily. The 3 inch version is also fantabulous!
You still flying your GT?
I did get the one with F60 Pro II's back in action, and yep I still rip it (But not the one with the X-Foot's... Those motors I cannot replace and still kick myself twice a day for not buying a few sets of). Since it has been such a terrible winter here I haven't been flying much at all as of late, but I was flying my GT at least 10 packs a week at the end of the summer. I flew the 3" last week... those 14XX Cobras are to die for. I still run 3.5.7 on all 3 of 'em and just haven't got to update them yet (I only just learned to love 4.1+ a couple months ago). How you liking yours?
