My first lightweight freestyle build featuring the open source TBS source two.
Notes:
Really impressed by the quality and the fit of the frame altogether but the ability to take hits needs to be investigated.
The flight performance is outstanding. On my ~360g alien the motors were less efficient and busted batteries with ease.
This frame weighs ~270g without batteries and is therefore a lot more efficient.
It still needs some PID tuning to fly as smooth as my alien but other than that I'm really impressed.
After comparison flights I can thoroughly confirm that the absence of momentum is really noticeable and therefore the flying style needs some adjustment.
Another thing that bothers me a little is the finicky mounting of the battery when flying topmount but this will be changed anyways as soon as my gopro arrives.
I need to take better pictures. I hope this will do for now.

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..

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..
