This is currently my 2nd ever build personally and I've taken all my knowledge from my 1st build (https://rotorbuilds.com/build/17485) and helping friends build theirs. I created this with a frame I got as a throw in from ordering from someone online, neither of us knew what the frame was and after a helping community someone sent and link and sure enough it is known as the Flightone Race Leo. I'm just starting to fly this one and learning how it responds but i feel it is a solid build and so far loving the attributes of it!
Update: Now mounted with Go Pro and new receiver antenna setup as well as VTX antenna update too.

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..
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! 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..

Hey man just a heads up, you need to move your RX antennas. The carbon arms will block the signal. I know it looks clean but your range and stability will be dramatically reduced.
So they should be perpendicular to the rear arms for best signal?
That's the easiest way to get a good reliable signal, yes
Updated antenna placemenet and going to test tonight, I appreciate the pointer!
Glad to help. I made the same mistake on my first quad and failsafed about 200ft up because of it. I hope it goes well
