This is a fresh ImpulseRC Helix ZX5. I went all out on the power train with hungry ZMX Fusion motors and BLHeli-S. With the fixed 45 degree camera mount I had to man up and fly it blisteringly fast. It is also super agile and locked in once tuned. I'm getting about 2 minute flight times on a 1300mAh 4s which is short, but the rush of flying this makes it worth it. The AUW is 340g and 568g with the battery and GoPro.

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.
