Here is my first 6" build...and I'm quite excited with!!! I use the chameleon Ti frame and hypetrain #Ummagawd 2150 Kv motors. I plan to fly it in lipo 5S. The frame is hydrodipped and coated with professionnal 2K coating for maximum durability.
The heliospring FC is just amazing!!! very difficult to have propwash...even with stock PID !!

The ESC are really great, and DSHOT1200 is very nice: follow the Oscar Liang settings and you will really flight in butter! https://oscarliang.com/best-blheli-32-settings/

I've loved this build since you first posted! Is it still holding up? You should know, this is the build that inspired me to do my sand and sky build. I spent over a year on it - not really on purpose, but I ordered the skin a year ago and then waited till black friday to get the actual parts. https://rotorbuilds.com/build/21227

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 a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
