built out the prototype. new updates have already been released though which is lighter and easier to build.

--22 July 2019
Got it tuned up and flying decent now. The 11,000kv motor really needs a throttle cut at 2s and these 65mm props. I set it on betaflight side at 70%, Previously tried it on the radio side and it was flying a bit wonky.
These motors are so much smoother than the happymodel ex1102, racerstar 1103b and br1103b I have been playing with on my toothpicks. Even at 70% throttle cut, gobs more power too! (for sure xt30 packs is another factor to the power delivery)

i specifically made an account to be able to tell you how beautiful your work is. really cool design and fantastic name!

Is this the Bob? if so, I'm honoured by your comment but all the credit goes to Karl Derner the creator of the Bando Racer brand of frames. I'm a huge fan of his work!

Kababfpv Jul 13, 2019

yeah it's me. i recognize how hard this is to pull off cleanly. really nice.

daich Jul 14, 2019

so true. the smaller the harder to make a clean build. some times it takes me over a month (not waiting for banggood) of coming back to a build every few days trying to get inspiration to fit things together in a good way.

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
