After my 2s whoop board died I decided to rebuilds my Lil Bandito with silver firmware. Whoop Lite, E011, B03, santawhoop boards all should work as long as you have FETs (mosfets are harder to work out) to get DSHOT motor signals (actually you can use PWM but for me it really is a hassle to set up). I turned out pretty OK, although it is in desperate need of a good PID tune. First I used some mobula7 canopies but these cheap ldarc tiny6 ones work just as fine and even let me plug in the st-linker without disassembling the whole stuff. The frame plate has been changed since I have ordered it and now you don't need to use 3D printed adaptors which is most welcome, as it is the weakest point of the build by far.

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..

Cool - got some under the hood pics and maybe a dvr?
Sadly not. I have gone through my last piece of 3d printed adaptor and waiting to get some more. Will update when assembled.
