HD Deuce

When I saw Daltz was releasing this new Lil’ Deuce No Limit frame to work with brushless whoop boards, I knew it was time to jump into this world of ultra micro builds. At first I consudered a 1S build.... after I convinced myself I needed (wanted) 2S, I started wondering if this was just going to be a faster, more aerobatic version of the TinyHawk (I knew it was different, but I wondered how much more)....

Then I had a eureka moment. Why waste my time with crappy DVR? I’d build it out with HD recording. This would be my prop-guardless cinewhoop, that I could also fly like a bat out of hell when I felt like it.

To mount the Turtle v2, I settled on this mobula mount with a few minor adjustments. www.thingiverse.com/thing:3328095
The top HD/FPV pod pops off easily with three screws and two plugs.

The Tacyon 1104 7500kv are likey temporary until the Lil’ Floater 1104s are released.

Dry weight is 66g and AUW is 86g with a 350mah 2S.

May 12 Update - added Crossfire nano rx. No more drop outs.

July 7 Update - printed a new canopy. The Sanchez designed by Dave_C

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..
