I THINK MY ALIEN IS GETTING TIRED OF THIS
He's been in a total of three separate builds now. Originally, of course, he was in the Modulus 65 110X (remember that old thing?), then the Byte Size, and now, in the Byte Size V2, the new and improved Byte Size! Anyway, this AFNG Anubis16 is a trooper. It's taken it all without a single complaint, and it's probably the best FC I've ever owned. I guess that's what you get when you get a one-of-a-kind , handmade flight controller.

THE BUILD
So I've got to be honest, this really wasn't much of a build, more of a swap. At first, I used the included EOS2/Unify Nano mount instead of my ol' trusty WolfWhoop WT07, and it worked out okay, but it added a couple grams. This probably would've been fine except that I was too cheap to order some 1103s and stuck with my DYS 1102 10000kV, and they just barely fell short of the power I wanted, so I switched back to the AIO. However, the if you get some 1103 for this build, the EOS2/Unify combo is excellent and I highly recommend it.
Anyway, the build is fairly simple, especially since the stack is no longer structural like it was with the V1. This makes both assembly and maintenance much simpler.

Because it's annoying, that's why. I find this 2" formula to be super fun, and it doesn't force me to rely on sketchy AIO boards where one failure can take out two vital components of your quad. Maybe I'm just old school, but that doesn't sit well with me. Plus, I only sell things I can test, and since I have no interest in testing AIO builds, I couldn't sell a frame for them. 65mm 2S 110X is a formula we micro pilots have messed with for literally years, as in the first build I ever saw used heli tail motors (~1103) and 75mm props on an extremely rare micro brushless frame. So in any case, this isn;t new, and I think there's a reason it went into the past :)

Yes.... 2" is the best. You can live without a 5", but not without a micro.

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..
