I chose the Helix mainly for its integration and simplicity. With everything integrated, the build will be a lot simpler. Everything else would be classic stuff: sefm's, red bottoms, and a triumph antenna.

Currently, I'm debating on building this, a garuda(https://rotorbuilds.com/build/1809), or a hyphy(https://rotorbuilds.com/build/1806).

Being a noob, which one balances speed, simplicity, and durability the best?

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class!

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.
