Sky Diver 🎢

Tried to do as clean of a build as I could hoping the frame is stable enough to keep the worst of the jello out. I know where the hype is these days (planning that next) but I really liked the FlexRC Komori frame that I got stuck hopelessly high up in the tree above the house. So this one is dedicated to the lost Komori!

The weight without a battery is 127g.

Looks nice !! I am building mine (actually finished it) but have huge noise in the FPV-feed, lines going zig zag when throttling up. Have tried all in the book to change that to no avail...........bummer. I have come to the preliminary diagnosos this must be from ESC/motor wires close to/under the Split. Not going to change that now........will fly it a while to see how it flies.........

Also, this frame may be more stable than El Camino

Hey, the footage is pretty good!! A bit of color correction and more expo and you have a smoooth shot! I'm glad to see how well this works :) Now let's experiment with the caddx turtlet and see if it's worth it instead of the split

Donut 3" - Build a Cinewhoop for under $200

21 days ago

You've probably heard the term "Cinewhoop". Traditionally it's a 3" ducted quad capable of carrying a GoPro Hero7 Black at a low 10 degree angle. More recently the term "Cine" has been applied to a number of RTF quads ranging from 85mm to 3". They all focus on their HD capability, but none compare to the stabilization of Hypersmooth (only available on the Hero7 Black). This is what really offers that..

TransTEC Laser S - How to build a 6S FPV Racer

May 31, 2019

A couple years ago I built the TransTEC Frog and since then I've been patiently waiting for another TransTEC frame to catch my eye. Fast forward to today and the TransTEC Laser S is that frame. It's a 82g racing frame that features 6mm arms, a TPU micro cam mount, 30.5mm and 20mm stack mounts and 3K carbon and 7075 hardware. My goal here was to build a high quality 6S racer at a reasonable price. I'd..
