Typical Rooster Build, no need to bore you with build details.

Found some cool 3D printed parts on Thingiverse. Type "Armattan Rooster" in the search and you can find all kinds of cool prints that you wont find on ebay or Amazon. Link: https://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=armattan+rooster&dwh=525bdab939aba50

Maaaaaaaaaaan, that is some top quality builder porn sir. Top quality. Forgive me for asking, but how much does she weigh all up?

qwadkiller Jan 11, 2019

Sorry it took so long! Justgot my new scale! Without battery she weighs 533.0 grams!

Very nice and clean! 👍

How did you deal with the battery strap hitting the gyro on the kakute v2? Also does the tbs vtx overheat being on the bottom of the stack?

qwadkiller Nov 17, 2018

Its hard to see in the pics, I looped the strap back over the top of the center of the battery plate so theres no way for the strap to hit the soft mounted gyro. I have four drones with the Kakute and finding a way to make sure the battery strap dosn't touch it is a pain. BUT I love this controller!

The TBS VTX has not been an issue with overtheating. I run them at 200mw. I added spacers between the mounted TBS tx and the 4-in-1 to provide more airflow. Also, I mounted the TBS board directly flush to the frame contacting the carbon fiber. TBS said it would aid in cooling.

When attaching the capacitor to the battery line like that, is that a printed part, if so do you have a link?

qwadkiller Nov 03, 2018

It works great! Here is the link! I paid $19 for 11 pieces made from flexible TPU.

Build a 5" Long Range Drone - Transformer Ultralight

Jun 21, 2021

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
