This was my 1st build and I am lucky to have so many great choices within an 60 mile radius of Denver. Since this was my introduction into the hobby, it made sense to get my feet wet with a shop that offered everything I needed to get airborne. After asking what type of flying I was planning to do, Tyler assisted me with selecting the parts. I liked this bird so much that 1 day after her maiden voyage I ordered the parts for a 2nd identical build. The Atmospheric Adventures top plate was later swapped out for the RMR Session Pod, the link is below in misc. parts.

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..
