Your 3D printing game is tight. I really love the rx bracket, the feet, and the look of all the grey parts. I feel like I should mention: your battery leeds coming off the FC need to be attached to some part of the frame to prevent your FC from being destroyed. The pads might come off, if the battery leads pull off the board in a battery ejection (it happens ((when you crash hard)). Those are some of the cleanist looking ESC protectors i've seen. I think they will do a good job of protecting from prop strikes, did you do your soldering work with them on? How did they hold up against the heat from your iron?

Hey there, thanks for taking the time to assess my build, and thanks for the great comments. You're absolutely right on the LiPo main leads and I'm definitely not happy with it the way it is. I'm going to jump on Fusion360 shortly to design an XT60 housing such that the XT60 itself will be bolted to the frame, since I don't like the way the battery leads are flexing and stressing the joints onto the VTX-PDB every time I plug in a battery.

The ESC protectors were my own design - if I were to do them again I'd probably extend them a little so that the solder joints are covered, but I like having the programmable LEDs on the Wraith ESCs visible. I've coated all those joints with conformal silicone so they are relatively well protected from moisture or shorts. They're made from TPU and I didn't have any issues with them melting while soldering them up, but I'm pretty handy with an iron (of the soldering nature) so the heat was applied only briefly on each pad.

The RX mount is slightly different from the photos, I redesigned it with some ridges either side so the receiver itself slides in and is held in place by the ridges - a sticky pad wasn't enough to hold it in place on its own.

I was thinking about making a comment on the risk of shorts on your ESC pads, but I took a long look before I wrote, and honestly they appear decently far apart. Would have stayed out of the rain like that myself, but with coating on it I imagine you are fine. Most printed protectors do cover the pads... but do they really need to if you coat your boards? Maybe it would protect you better from a broken AND bent prop... Also, when I first started sticking radio boards to stuff in quad fraames I ran into what you are talking about, but there are some INCREDIBLE double stick tape brands out there now. I personally use Scotch, but obviously 3M must have some incredible stuff too. The tape i'm using could stick a live gopher to the side of a bottle rocket fired out of a tank into a hurricane full of burning alligator lightning

very clean, how long are the flight times?

leeph   Nov 17, 2018 

I don't know for sure yet, this is my first miniquad (ever) - I come from heli and plank land, so I'm just getting to grips with the flight characteristics (I like to call it extreme hovering) so the flight times I'm getting are probably not indicative of eventual durations when I'm actually flying it like a miniquad should be. I've had it in the air for 10 minutes and more at hover-throttle with some light punchouts.

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..
