Snow White

This is Snow White

I wanted to build a quad that prioritized aesthetics and top tier components. The Rooster frame from Armattan felt like an appropriate starting point with the titanium cage and the slammed deck design that I love. The white silk motors and white DALProp 5045's took the forefront on the colour scheme, so decided to go with a full Storm Trooper look and source the rest of the products to match those.

The Eagle 2 Pro has been my favourite camera since I first used it, and when I found there was a Lumenier special edition in white, that had to go in.

Aside from a couple of custom 3D printed parts for the Unify and the R9 receiver the rest of the mounts and pieces were from Brain3D Rooster Accessory Kit.

As a finishing touch, the frame was given a few coats of spray paint on all the edges of the carbon, I usually just use the oil based sharpie approach but as I wanted this one to be a proper looker, went the whole hog and did a proper masking and spray paint job.

This is more or less a mirror build (specs wise) of my main quad with slightly different motor Kv's, so it mostly serves as a show piece and backup quad to use to chill fly those unused lipo's if my main gets into a non trivial to fix state in the field.

I give it 1 flight before it's brown and/or green ;) Awesome build though, Sync! Almost want to put it in a glass case, but what a waste that would be...

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..
