RealAcc Ultra 215 with Caddx Turtle. Originally bought this frame to replace my old ZMR 250. After that it has slowly gotten parts replaced one by one. Oldest parts of this now are 20A Blheli ESCs.
Cheap as chips Racerstar Sprog X motors also work a lot better than expected.
It flies stupidly good compared to other quads which have way more expensive parts carefully thought out setups.
Antenna is self made pagoda so that's why it is not listed

I'm a huge fan of this. I have seen so many 3" builds with the fpv/HD recording cams, and I get it that being able to fly smaller gaps is cool, and 5" rigs can carry a goPro (with better image quality). I ALSO get it that hanging an expensive action camera off the forehead of my kwad like a lopsided unicorn is kinda dumb. I intentionally put the sensitive bits INSIDE the frame because I need to be able to crash! I have been toying with this idea, but haven't pulled the trigger yet, thanks for the inspiration!
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..

i like this....a suggestion perhaps some nice clear heatshrink over the arms instead of the tape? i think it would really look slick with heatshrink....nice work tho
