God Mode 1.2 - Pav Pod with fin.

Request 20mm standoffs when ordering frame if using triple height stack, or use a different VTX (like TBS Unify Pro32 Nano and UFL AXII antenna)

Build Notes:

  • Will need battery strap(s), stack standoffs, large washer (to bolt SMA antenna connection to), electrical tape, zip ties, heat shrink, silicon 705 (or conformal coating - optional), hex drivers, solder, flux and soldering iron, to complete build.
  • Mount PyroDrone FC chips down so flat surface can be used to tape VTX to. BF configure board in flipped orientation.
  • Use 705 Silicon on the ESC to assist durability and longevity.
  • Mount RX antennas on zip ties off front arms. Never had problems with recption in races.
  • Loctite SMA AXII antenna onto connection (as can work loose). I used a 3D printed piece to ensure antenna cannot come out of pod, but could use a large washer to do same job.
  • To mount camera, drilled the screw holes a little deeper into the TPU printed pod so provided m2 camera mount screws had a couple of mm purchase on the camera.

Config Notes:

  • Runs good on BF 4.x stock PIDS and filters. Just dial in personal rates.
  • No ESC telemetry on Spedix35A, but UART available for ESC telemetry if required.
  • DShot 1200. Turtle mode capable.
  • Camera control via UART (FC is BF cam control capable without sacrificing LED control).
  • Tramp VTX control.
  • FC can run Crossfile or FrSky with SmartPort telemetry.

I use 1500mah 4S batteries (CNHL), but any high C 4S battery will work well with this stack.

Excellent race drone.

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..
