 By Hillbillyhan on Jan 18, 2019My 2nd quad but first build and this thing is a tank! My first quad is a 5" Cl-1 a friend built and the frame broke very fast. Recently replaced it and broke again. I'm still learning so I crash alot. And the 3" Phreak takes it.
I've hit a pole head on full speed(4s 1500mah) and only broke the camera.
Failsafe above a 10story building and free fell onto asphalt.
Hit a concrete wall cruising pretty fast.
Lots of parking garage crashes.
I also let all my friends that never flown try it out and disarm them when they got too high / far.
A motor finally died today. I had 1 minute to order Amazon's same day delivery so I bought it then realized they were 3750kv instead of my 4100kv i had on there. Since I'm changing all 4 motors now I might as well post the build.
Edit: Motor burnt because of bad ESC. Ordered replacement ESC

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..
