I designed, printed and built a 3" version of my Skele7on frame.
Flies like a beast with crazy 5 minute flight times :)

I've since changed the camera to an AKK A5 as you can see in the video the Mobula camera was on its way out...

hey so i have a similar project and im wondering if 1103 is enough for bi-blade 3" because i rarely see people do that. Any thoughts? also here is my take on a similar frame to yours. Also partially 3d printed ;)

My experience shows 5A ESCs are not enough!
I can thoroughly recommend the iflight success 16x16 stack though - you can get an idea how well is works here:

i havent released them yet ;-) but wait for a while and im just finishing up the sizes. can someone tell me whats the mounting hole pattern/size of these whoop boards, my current design is 25.4x25.4 mounting pattern

heres an update. I had to ask for the creator of this canopy if i can change it to fit my frame perfectly.

It's a beauty!

Youre the first person ive seen with any success on that flight controller. Ive burnt out 2 personally on the first flight for each. The QC seems to be off big time.

Taylormadearmy Apr 22, 2019

I blame you. literally smoked it on the next flight I took 😥

Will replace it with a Crazybee.

alwaysbless Apr 23, 2019

Man I thought you were one of the lucky ones. They seemed liked theyd have so much promise too lol. HAKRC has a 10a 16x16 stack that only cost 20 bucks. Its a good replacement or there is also the HBS-F405 is worth looking into also both are cheaper than the Crazybee.

Taylormadearmy Apr 24, 2019

Yeah. I do like the HAKRC - already have a 16x16 build / design.

I should update it to take the Mobula camera pod and grow it to 3"...

Jun 21, 2021

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
