So, it's cold outside. Which, for me, means it's time to build some quads. I know, I know... that's a little backwards. Shouldn't I build during the summer when I can fly them?? Yes, I should, but I'm busy in the summer. Now that its winter it gets dark super early and, as I mentioned earlier, it's freaking cold outside - which means, time to spend too much money and build a bunch of quads I won't be able to fly until Spring...

Another solid design from Adam "HyphPV" Kobitz, the Wobblegong is a super light frame he designed for Jawz. I picked up a couple of these frames to build up and test with various motor combinations: Pyroflip's Hyperlites in 2205.5 and 2207.5, both in 1722kv. After have completed some testing, i really prefer the 2207.5 1722kv motors on 6S spinning Gemfan Hurricanes/Whiskey (5149.9).

UPDATE 12/19 - whipped up an AXii and RX antenna holder, as well as a GoPro Session couch (not that anyone still has a WORKING SESSION)... I'll add links to the files as misc

This is the second Spedix GS40 I've used on a build. No complaints at all, other than the price. 😀 I'd rather pay a bit more and have no complaints than save $15 and have a series of issues. As far as the camera... the jury is still out...

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..
