A Christmas gift built out with old parts that needed a rebirth.
01/13/19 - Motors screwed on, added Emax Mini Magnum F3 stack, Foxeer Arrow Micro, and zip tied the RX down. I need a VTX and I may add DVR
01/20/19 - I soldered in all the motor wires, RX, VTX, Camera, and DVR. buttoned it up and tried to power on. The FC wouldn't initiate and I had no LEDs on anything. I either killed it or overloaded the regulator. I took it apart and moved the cam to Lipo. That was enough to power the FC, RX, VTX, and DVR. There is a hole in the top of the canopy meant for a buzzer. I drilled it out and snuck my VTX dipole through it.
01/26/19 - I tried to take off with my Hip Hop Bunny. It deathrolled but immediately on takeoff. I realized I have the FC in a -90 position and forgot to rotate it. This is stupendously annoying since the USB is now at the rear of the stack and buried behind my VTX and the DVR chip. I opened it all back up and changed the orientation. The front nuts/screws for this thing are so annoying to install/reinstall. That's my main and only real gripe with this frame.
03/07/19 - Dismantled this. Fun experiment but not much fun to fly.

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..
Read moreWith 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!
