Building a 65mm brushless whoop with 0802 motors.
12/03 - I got all the parts together for this build but the Happy Model 0802 motors do not fit in the Beta 65 Pro frame cleanly. The E-Clips at the bottom of the motor do not fit through the center holes on the frame. I drilled them out to 9/64" and used the triangle holes for the screws. The center holes distort slightly so be careful when trying to spin the motors. One of my 4 motors seems DOA and I have a message to the seller to get a replacement.
12/22/18 - I used my soldering iron to melt the E- clip holes large enough so they no longer distort. I also had to screw them down using the triangle holes rather than the round ones. I made a return of the bad 0802 motor and Crazepony sent me a whole new set. Oddly the new set had 2 black motor wires and 2 red motor wires. It seems they are dirrctional. My original set were all red so I wonder if my original set had some QC issue. The build finally came together and flies strong. Dry weight is 23g and I have to stay on the throttle to keep this thing moving.

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..
