that 17 dollar frame is not going protect 200 dollars worth of electronics. get a real floss! they are already cheap enough and should be a lot better than clones

SaschaFPV   Jun 20, 2019 

yes i want order some other frame sometime but i want a lightweight Frame, maybe some different and not Floss style

SpikeDiesel   Jul 14, 2019 

I thought lightweight was the way to go in the beginning also, I learned too light breaks easy, and isn't easy to control, throttle pushes up into trees above, heavier freestyle frames fly MUCH SMOOTHER

IcarusIX   Jun 20, 2019  

nice build but when cheaping out, cheaping out on a skinny frame is more of a risk whearas you can get away with cheaping a chunky frame but quality is more important for skinny. but who cares, rebuild when it dies amirite?

SaschaFPV   Jun 21, 2019 

i thing its the best choice and if the frame is broken i will rebuilt it whit a better freestyle frame

IcarusIX   Jun 21, 2019 

some may say it wouldve been better to start woth the freestyle frame but experiencing the skinny one is a good idea too. hopefully it lasts

So... what's the motor soft mount pad (under your top plate screw) in the back about?

SaschaFPV   Jun 20, 2019 

there is no mount or anything else (i think you mean the holder arm of the 5,8ghz antenna)

Jodie Froster   Jun 20, 2019 

Under the screw in the back of the top plate, it's a + shaped object, with 4 screw holes, and some text on it. If i'm not mistaken it's a soft mount for a 22xx size motor. It sais: Sasha Hegemann, and there is an address under that. Is it just a return address printed on a motor soft mount? Like a tag on a dog collar in case you lose it, and someone finds it? So they can return it to you?

SaschaFPV   Jun 21, 2019 

aaahh ok this you mean
in Germany every Quad needs a plate whit the kontakt to the owner
this plaze is for the Motor but it dont fits there thats why i built it on top
it has no soft mounting funktion

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..
