Picked up this frame at a club gathering a month or so back, decided to build it up for an upcoming weekend of racing, and try out the new HelioRC SPRING dual Gyro flight controller. I KNOW the DALRC ESC isn't "perfect" for the Helio, but it was something I had, and does run 32/32khz and so far flies great.
The stack on this build I did slightly out of order, because honestly I wanted the ESC on the top of the stack, cuz it looks cool with the machined aluminum heat sink. However this put the Unify Pro and the RX (which I have mounted to a white-noise board) dangerously close to the underside of the ESC which could cause cooling or shorting problems. So I put the FC on the bottom, then the ESC, then the VTX / RX on top.
This allowed me to route the red ESC wires a bit higher than normal, which I thought looked cool. Routed them to racewires (which come with the studs frame!)
All in all very pleased with the way this build came together.

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..

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..
