awesome flying little budget quad!

flashed with the most recent NFE silverware with the updated filtering: https://community.micro-motor-warehouse.com/t/notfastenuf-e011-bwhoop-silverware-fork/5501/1402

jst 1.25 3 pin connector direct soldered to the board for easy flashing with ST link and keil.  more or less as easy as connecting to betaflight.

custom vacuum formed HDPE canopy.

controlled with an irx4 multi protocol module & qx7 tx.

actual build cost without the bulk of multi-packs is $37.98

updated props to gemfan triblades. feels faster...

I'm using an even cheaper silverware fc I found on xt-xinte. I didn't know if I should order it bc it was only 5$ and how the heck but it works perfect 👌

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..
