Rather than detail the build, I wanted to highlight the parts that took the most thought / time.
The frame arrived with 2 left titanium frame sides but on sending through pictures, Armattan sent the right part by overnight post. Good service. I chose to use some of the Taco-RC TPU parts for antenna / VTx holder and bumper ... so didn't use the standard Armattan antenna components.
The 4-in-1 and FC combo from Hobbywing I have used before. It has flown a lot with no issue so far .. but why ... why the plug for 10V, video and UART6. I would MUCH rather have the solder points for a cleaner build.
This was my first non-Runcam camera and I am happy with the colours so far. I do need to tweak to get rid of some of the digitisation effect though.
The VTx is a TBS Unify Pro HV which I had to source from eBay as everyone else was out of stock but it wired up easily and does exactly what it says on the tin. Add a Axii mini and the installation is neat and solid with the TPU mount.
An easy build .. but a little tight at the back with a non-nano VTx.
Flown with stock Betaflight 4 settings and my own preferred rates, it flies well (well enough for me anyway).
This wasn't the cheapest build but it is solid "out the box" and I have confidence in the parts from experience.
Feel free to ask any questions ... happy to help out.
Sorry about the lack of pictures BTW.

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..

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..
