Thanks to Whitenoise for the racewire, Jet for the PID tune and awesome frame design, Wrckit for GPS guidance, Airblade UAV for the awesome and novel travel easy TBS immortal T antenna mount, and RocketCity3D for the quick turnaround on printing all of these parts.
So I have my 7" setup and I'm happy with it. I also absolutely fell in love with the superg+ once I saw it in person. so naturally.. yea, I had to build one.
I decided, as I already have a purpsoe built 7", this would be built out slightly differently. targetting agility,stability, and still some efficiency, I went with 1950kv 6" azure (4S) in comparison to my 1750kv 7" setup. I'm currently running the same 5200mah 4S lipo (425gm) on 6" and 7", but it also opens up the opportunity for running 2200mah 5S if I want lower weight/more pop/acro agility potential. Added bonus is that the props are not in HD view.
Ive solidly decided after finishing both of these builds that i will get a hero 7 black . at some point. I do not know when that point is.
I decided to go bottom mount with lipo as it gives me greater ability to find balance with the large lipo in pitch axis. when I run 2200mah 5S I may test both top and bottom mount arrangements

hi, do u have any clips of the above exact same Super G using the MB equipment in flight giving these long flight times..thx
I don't actually have any flight videos posted for this rig that show the full flight time, but there is one video of it flying atm.
currently I'm getting ~15-16minutes on 6" 5200 4S, 20 minutes on 7" 5200 4S, and I flew 13 minutes (aggressively) on 6" 2200 5S. Most of the test flights have been at night so I could see the EL wire, but this means the only video worth watching is DVR because the gopro video is just pitch black!
Awesome signed up after looking at your 7" on Facebook. I am also on 7" Love it :) Im flying the iflight XL7 on 1750kv motors ill post a build pic on my profile soon of it looks simular to yours even the race wires made me laugh. Very nice quad build indeed love the lights. Following if i can? just signed up to post not had a look around yet :) Great website :)

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..

How did you get the arms to light up like that?! It's so pretty
It's flexible light up wire called 'EL wire'. You can find it in automotive sections online fairly cheaply. it runs on AC current though so you need a way to get it from DC to AC from a lipo.
Hi, how did you do the ac conversion on the quad ?
there's a tiny, custom inverter tucked in the rear of the quad on top of my vx (little blue box). it came with the kit, I don't really know a way to source that specifically at this time.
