With the one year anniversary of the 10" Hildagard 395mm frame fast approaching I want to do something special so soon once I figure out how best to go about it all will have a chance to win a free Hildagard frame of their own. It's a small way for me to show my appreciation. I want to personally thank everyone who has supported this very special frame as it means more than you all know to me. I never thought that when I went to Stefan van der Ende with a personal dream of a frame I had been thinking about for almost two years that it would be so accepted by others and turn into what it has today.
In honor of the occasion I thought a new build was in order sporting diversity and some beautiful custom motors.
Thank you all again for helping my vision spread worldwide with all the beautiful builds and flight videos that have came out in the last year from so many of you from all around the globe.
Stefan and I are not done by any means so be on the look out for something new and very special coming very soon from us.

Nice build! Ever thought about making smaller frames? I'm sure more people would consider them since it is a more popular category. Still this is by far the most bad-ass prop size, large enough to make your 5 inch look tiny, but small enough to be flyable with acro-like manoeuvres haha!
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..
