The Mad Hatter is a fantastic true x, pod quad. Give it a look!

1/13/2017

I've uploaded a lot of pictures from my past Mad Hatter builds also. (Including my "No-pro" Hatter that I build with no stack standoffs.)

This frame is what I flew for the majority of 2016 and it definitely is a stand up quad! There are not a lot of different arm and hat styles to suit nearly whatever you're looking for!

Nice flying! That looks like a well oiled machine there. Where were you flying? I grew up in the desert.

Thanks Whiffles! It's definitely been a good frame to me. (I've built a handful of Mad Hatters over the last year) This was in Tempe, Arizona where I currently reside.

Build a 5" Long Range Drone - Transformer Ultralight

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021
