Since I built the Massive Droner, I've become a huge fan of the 2-3" builds. They handle almost as well as a 5" and I can fly them in my back yard. The only thing I missed on that build was HD video, so I was really excited when I heard about the Acrobrat.
I had the F440 set aside for a different build, but it really wasn't going to fit in the frame the way I wanted so I decided to use it here. I wanted to wait for the Hypetrain Brat motors, but I'm impatient so I chose the Brother Hobby instead. I had a spare Crossfire nano in my parts box as well as the extra minion. For the HD camera I went with the Split Mini. I thought about the caddx turtle, but decided to stick with Runcam because I've had zero issues with their cameras. Last piece was the vtx. I hate the ufl connectors on the Unify, and I wanted a 20x20 mountable vtx since the frame has a place to mount it, so the AKK was an easy choice. The only miscellaenous parts I bought was the brain3d printed parts to mount the antennas and help protect the bottom of the frame.
Not sure about the lipo, but I have some 3s 800's laying around and maybe a 3s 1300 if I want to try to push the range on this guy.

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..
