This is my first ever quad, I followed Whiffles Wizard Killer MKIII build which is here
Only difference from that build is that I had to order the racerstar motors as the DYS motors were out of stock.
It was a super easy build - even for me - who has limited soldering experience. I went without the HD camera, my fpv headset has DVR so i'm just capturing the low resolution videos for now. Here is my first flight with this quad (any quad actually! this is my first ever flight!). Thanks to about 20 hours of simulator practice on velocidrone it went quite well :)
Thanks rotorbuilds for getting me into the hobby, and thanks @whiffles! I'm hooked, and already planning my second build, which will be using the elf 88mm frame.

Lookin good!! Really a great first quad for sure. You need wires between your flight controller and your xt-60 connector so you can zip tie them to some part of your frame and your fc/4n1ESC doesn't break when you throw batteries.

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..

Had a question on the battery. I can't get anything that is exactly the same in Canada because of import laws. So I was wondering what other batteries might work. Or how to select a battery based on maH and C.
mah is the best measure, you can never trust the c ratings on the labels, just make sure its 4s and around 1500mah give or take 100mah, also shop by battery weight if youre tossing up between a few. lighter batt = more flight time, less motor revs to keep elevation and better handling all round :)
