PIG rebuilt (Armattan Japalura)
[17-JUN-2019] After the test flight, the Tower-S is not very compatible with the new FC, so I rebuilt again using the Matek F405 and Airbot Ori32 ESC, and now everything works fine.
[08-Jun-2019]
My first Pig (see my older build) was built by my good friend Boney. The PIG is getting old - the original FlyColor Tower-S F3 and the OSD is too troublesome to configure. So, I decided to upgrade the PIG with minimum investment.
In the Pictures, you can see that I keep the Tower-S BLHeli_S ESC which is still good to go. I basically keep all my old components except a new FC Mateksys F405 STD.
To accommodate the F405, I have to depin the ESC and solder all the ESC signal wires directly on the FC. Enjoy this build, I am very satisfied with the result and this will be one of my go-to quad (because I won’t mind to crash this old good pig with a new brain and heart).

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..
