Beaver FPV gave me a Detroit Multirotors WP17 Prototype to build and give feedback on.

Overall I think this frame is amazing in performance but a bit tricky to build unless you go with a full AIO FC that incorporates a PDB and everything in one package. Separate VTX and receiver are totally fine but you don't want to deal with a big stack. Space is at a premium on this frame.

The flight performance however is quite impressive. It felt well planted and took corners very well with the stock Betaflight 3.0.1 PID's and my own rates.

I will be updating this periodically as I get more of a chance to test the frame!

For now I will leave you with this awesome maiden video! -

What is dimension between front to back motors and left to right? Would like a comparison to my DMR stretch frame.

Front motors are roughly 142mm apart and front-back motors are about 155mm aparts. I don't have a precise instrument on me right now sorry =S

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..
