A QAV250 based 3s racer.
Video Tx has since moved underneath top plate.
So, after some time - i've made some modifications / additions, along with other changes based on crash experience;
antenna's were connected via a solid 3d print in ABS plastic. This turned out to be a bad move as the ABS is brittle enough that it snapped in a crash and chewed up my antenna's. Now, as you can see in the photo's - they've moved position and the tube holders are now made from flexible TPU. This stuff seems tough and I don't expect more issues.
The motor protectors were again made from ABS, and lasted one crash. I've removed them for now.
I moved the vtx underneath the top plate whilst ensuring I could still access the dip switches.
I added an OpenLog and enabled blackbox in CleanFlight.
All of the updated 3d parts came from Great3d.com.

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 a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..

I've added the TechFlex and Paracord to the build for reference.
Honestly, the sheathing on TOUGH-GRID paracord is much better and about 1/32" larger in diameter. Check it out www.toughgrid.com and see if it would be an improvement, they have excellent ratings on Amazon so it looks good.
