Clean Hyphy 6" build. Jumper wire from ESC1 to PPM pin is for DSHOT capability with the Kombini FC. The X4R receiver is soldered to the bottomside of the Kombini and is wired for Smartport telemetry. As it sits in the pictures it weighs in at 450.7g without a battery.

Nice build!! I'm a little worried about you mounting the Unify with the same zip tie you're using for the Session mount. I'd be worried that the force against the mount from a crash could damage the unify. I've even managed to break one of those zip ties with a Session mount on the Shrike Style. Are you worried about that?
Awesome, nice sharp photos! How do you like the RK 5051s on the F60s? I heard they have a lot of speed, but are lacking in the cornering.
What standoffs are those? Vibration isolation?
Hey DD, those are vibration dampening spacers! They're prototypes and were made by Trueblood Engineering, who also made the antenna mount for this build. I met him at a race and he gave me some samples of the spacers! The spacers are a bit stiffer than a regular O-rings but they seem to do the job great and have resolved yaw twitches on one of my mpu6500 builds. Trueblood says they'll be coming out with different thicknesses and colors, these ones replaces 3.5mm spacers(http://imgur.com/a/tcuPL).
Very nice looking build, what's the black stuff you have over the solder joints on your board? Some kind of insulating paint?
Sean, that's actually liquid electrical tape. I use it on all my builds, it not only helps against shorts on the exposed solder joints, but it also helps hold the small wires in place.
I bought my bottle here, it's lasted me 2 years so far: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000FPAN2K/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483478831&sr=8-1π=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=liquid+electrical+tape

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..

First off, Nice Build!! How was mounting the swift to the frame? The Hyphy product page states that it needs "light" modification. Could you share your experience with this?
Hey thanks. The camera slots are meant for an hs1177 bracket to be slotted thru the bottom plate of the frame from the bottom. You can't do this with the mount that comes with the runcam because the angle adjustment part of the bracket make it too wide to fit thru the slots in the frame. You can mount the runcam bracket ontop of the bottom plate(instead of thru), this works ok, but makes a tight fit. You could probably trim the bracket it to fit, or get ahold of an hs1177 bracket. There's also camera mount 3D models for the Hyphy on www.thingiverse.com, this is my current solution.
