Great work, how does it fly with the Bee FC?
Thanks. It flies not bad: with a 7g 260mah battery (1S), it flies for 3 minutes and some seconds. It is stable and silent. It goes to failsafe more often than I expected, around corners of my house: maybe this carbon frame is too thick for this antenna. It want to try a thinner frame weighting less than 6g, but I struggle to find a cheap one.
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..

Hi, great ideas, how you build it.
You can save 2-4g if you replace all steel screws with titanium ones, shorten the motor wires, remove the motor connectors and direct solder the motors.
I know, it's fiddly work, but you could gain around 10% weight savings :)
Happy flying.
Thanks. I agree. My screws are made of steel, quite heavy. Now, I am trying to find cheap titanium or alluminium screws and lighter 2inch popin propellers (2 or 3 bladed), so that I would also save the weight of 8 screws.
I would never have immagined that I would be happy to save 1g :)
