I was looking for something that felt like a five inch, had some respectable speed, and was smoother than astroglide. The Reverb frame is amazing its pretty solid and new arms are only like 10$ for four which is awesome I've already cracked 2 of em because they delaminated after I crashed into concrete a couple times; fresh arms are solid though. I love the stack its cheap and gets the job done better than I expected. After I put a tune on it it feels locked in and I'm not getting an weird oscillations. The motors are very powerful and they aren't out of control the throttle is pretty linear and i like the torque they give I think 4100kv would be better for racing but the 3600kv is great for freestyle the battery life is a little better. I'm getting around 3-4 minutes of hard flying with the Pyrodrone 700mah packs. The AKK Nano is okay I wouldn't recommend it because it honestly had a 2 week lifespan. As soon as it gets hot its done and the range gets super short. Brand new the thing gets great range but for the lifespan you are better off getting the TBS Unify Pro32 Nano which goes up to 400mw and is smaller. The Camera is great I have no complaints about it, love the resolution and I can see pretty much every detail in the video. The AUW with battery is around 230g which gives plenty of float.

how have the 1407 motors been treating you? are they still enough motor?

Let me just say that hese motors are insane the 3600 kv on 4s are perfect power to weight ratio. They sound like a turbocharger, so much fun. I have burnt out 3 motors since june which sucks because they are insanely durable and can really take a hit. I reccomend them they are more motor than you need for this kind of build. I will be reposting this drone with new changes I made soon.

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..
