Earlier this year the Flynocerous Canis M5 caught my eye. Was a unique, light-weight frame that was unlike anything else. The "roll cage" as they call it looked really durable and protected everything. Built it and flew it all summer. Now they've taken that same design but turned it into a stretch X called the Cerberus. The roll cage has room to stuff everything and keep it well protected. The TPU parts add another level of protection to the arms and ESCs. Weighs in at 340 without battery but with some 5051s i expect it to be very competitive (ran out of 5051s for pictures). If you're looking for a unique, durable frame go check Flynocerous 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..

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..

Beautiful build.... so glad to see people flying this frame..... do you like it so far?
Love it. Flies well, seems durable although time will tell on that one. Juuuust enough build room with the cap in there.
Why is the cap needed?
I added it to smooth out power spikes from the ESCs. Keeps the video cleaner and gyros happier.
Gotcha, I've never tried that before in my builds. Have you done it before? Does it make a difference?
Also how do you like this frame?
This is the first build I planned ahead of time to use one, I've added ones in the past to old builds. It seems to help with the revolt and how sensitive it is. But I'd recommend it to at the very least protect your vtx, in some circumstances (not common but possible) the vtx can be fried by ESC voltage surges.
Love the frame, just got a second one to build as a backup :) Great american company too, they support the community and their products.
Sweet maybe I'll try it out too. And cool I'll check them out.
