This frame does not seem like a racing frame, and I didn't get it to race, but I put race parts inside. I had to remove the buzzer to allow the side plate to be installed, and move the vtx to the rear 20x20 holes. I put a hellgate buzzer in the hatchback which seems like a good choice if I start getting out there.
The Magnum V2 has a hidden UART that I am trying to figure out so I can get smart audio working, but all in good time. I tried these lumenier 343 props, but ultimately found gemfan 3052 to work better with the wieight. It flies more deliberately due to the weight and nothing like my super light massive droners, or overpowerer 5 inchers, but I like the organization of the build. I get about 4 minutes of flight time on 850 4s. Might try a smaller battery to test out reduced wieght.
UPDATE Swapped out the 1306 for 1407 4000kvs, keeping the same gemfans I will try it out this weekend. I also have some agressive 3053 HQ's that I'll try too.
UPDATE 2 OK, so the new motors are just what the doctor ordered. Even without the 3053, the power was evident. With the 3053, it was super capable, but the motors got really hot. Butter video (not so butter flying).

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..

how the stack and motors perform for this build
So far the build is a bit underpowered on 4s. I am going to try a bit larger motor at 1407 this weekend and 3053 props. 650 batts show up next week. I will report back. The stack seems quite robust, and I like that it had smart audio wired up already. I'm hoping someone can figure out where UART 6 is.
OK, 1407's installed, I'll test them in the morning.
That was the ticket. Motors got pretty hot with the new props, I'll be looking into it.
I'm building an Acrobrat right now and I put 1806 motors on it.
I'm interested to see what you think. Generally I feel like 1806 is a 4" motor. I'd be interested to know your KV and what battery life you end up with.
I'm curious, too. I'll have props within a day or two.
