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..

I gave up Facebook a while ago, are you guys active anywhere else? Would love to see what people are doing with this frame and share my progress as well. I'll be basing my build on a Matek F405 STD running Arducopter and will adapt my self built Hero 7 Black gimbal for it. Will initally be running 4s as I have some large 710kv motors already. If it feels sluggish I'll probably go something similair to what you have.
