I flew with my friends 130 a couple months ago, and was completely sold on it. So i its finally time for my own 130 build. I wanted to keep it as light weight as possible, this craft is meant for small parks. If i want to go racing i'll grab the 5 inch, if i want to be sneaky and fly in a park or playground i'll grab the 3 inch.
First thing i did was throwing away the standard pod that came with this realacc frame, allthough it looks quite nice. I built a stack of components, first the 4-in-1 esc from racerstar, which i think it performs great. I know 20A is a little overkill for these 1105 4000kv rcx motors, but it will be fine :) I 3D printed the camera hood, it is not really ment for this type of cam, but with a little bit of bending and fiddling around i got it in there.
Total of this build, including a 450mah 65c 3s nano-tech battery, has a AUW around 130gr. Its an absolute beast for flying in parks and playground.
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..
