Guides & Reviews
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..

did you buy kevlar plate or actually do a hand layup and then cut it? I have a whole ton of extra kevlar left over from some projects i was doing last year and although extremely resistant to cutting and breaking i found that is wasnt nearly stiff enough by itself but was awesome as part of a carbon fiber composite.
Bought plate, its top and bottom layers are carbon/kevlar with carbon layers inbetween. Wanted to test the CNC router before I got all the stuff to make my own plates. Agreed that on its own, kevlar isn't all that great. My plan is to make my own sheet layups with more interesting mixes of materials.
right on, kevlar unlike carbon is nearly transparent to rf, they can make raydomes out of it so i imagine it would be awesome for part of a quad if your running the imortal t TBS antenna but stiffness would be a pain, also, kevlar isnt conductive which goes gand and hand with the rf transparency. The stuff i have is plain weave 1x1 not a twill type pattern but would be perfect as the layer closest to the electronics to prevent a short in a nasty crash. Just very UV sensetive. I want to get my hands on some spectra fabric but haven't found a good source.
I have spectra fabric that I'm planning on making some sheets with. Its also called innegra if you're searching for it. I've got some carbon/innegra weaves that look awesome and can't wait to use. Also carbon/zylon...
no kidding? they make a carvlar which is sick. have you seen the stuff from composit envision? they came out with a new metallic line. not had a chance to play with it but it looks sick but at 2x the price of the carbon kevlar blend im not sure that anything less than an autoclave setup you could even dream about being able to fab anything that could be sold for a high enough price to see a return. those links you sent me the same spot you got the spectra blend? interested in maybe a fabric swap(that sounds like something a femak would say lol)
