Here we go: this is going to be my last build for a while since I have every size of quad I could ever want and more.
This is going to be a long range efficieny build for some cinematic flying. I chose the iFlight XL7 v3 for the frame to shave some costs. Ill probably upgrade it to a Project 399 Super G plus when I feel like going deadcat swept rotor design (and have the cash).
I have a Hobbywing Xrotor F4/ 45amp 4in1 stack that has been waiting since February for this build as well as a ImmersionRC Tramp VTX that has been waiting it's turn for glory.
Ill have a full build video and a series of full flights I will be posting the links to on here as well.
-I chose the Emax Eco 2306 1700 kv motors as they are cheap, and I've heard great things about them so far. Ill let you know how that goes :D
-Im using an old Runcam swift v1 for microphone (every other cam I have are micro size with no mic.)
-I grabbed the brand new TBS M7 GPs module for GPS recovery and for some peace of mind
-I'll be using Gemfan Flash 7042 and Lumineer 6x4 slow flyer props and testing best efficieny
-Links for 3d printed parts will end up on this page as well
Enjoy

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..
Read moreWith 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!
