Crimson Sailfish 5.0

This is my newest racer, I swapped over to 6S and am having no regrets doing so.

The frame is my custom designed frame, the Sailfish 220 SX, but flipped upsidedown with a pod designed by Mewo FPV. I love how it handles with a mid-mount battery like this.

I have not had a negative experience with any of the parts that I used in this build and highly recommend them.

Here is some DVR of it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oQdtwi1KaY&feature=youtu.be (dont mind the uncalibrated ammeter...)

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..
