This was my first shot at a racing drone and I love the way this guy came out! the Magnum stack made the build super clean and compact. the hardest part was removing the stock rx to install a flysky one. Other than that this was great. It is extremely quick and nimble. can't really use it for freestyle so I'm sticking with racing with it. Let me know what you guys think.

Hey bro, curious how this feels for freestyle with session on top, does it balance it out and make it feel like a top mount frame?  I see mode 2 is now selling top mount plates and was thinkin bout tryin it

Ok thanks fyi, I just mounted a 1300 on top plate of my 6in and flew it and wow amazing as smooth as my ummagawd remix if not smoother on Racekraft 6032 tris, quiet efficient and fast, I'm ordering the top mount plate fo sho. Try it w/o gopro you'll love it.  I'm not a big racer anyway so it's now an ultralight freestyler. ;)

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..
