This is one of the nicest frame kits I have built. Top battery mount is a first for me but I am wanting to try it out. I like the way this frame sits slammed down low. I am running the amaxinno 1106 6300kv  with the new HQ 3x2 props. Hopefully they perform well together. I also like this iflight aio board. It makes for a really clean build with the vtx that snaps in with pins on top. Tried to flash my favorite version of betaflight 3.5.7 which I run on all my toothpick type builds. However this being a newer board with a target of stm32f411 there is only version of betaflight 4.0 and newer. This will be my first time trying out betaflight 4.2. I did put the 4.0 costume tune on it for 110X to 120X motors Community presents tune for micros. Hopefully it goes well. Will report back as I am going to do a maiden flight today. Was really disappointed that I couldn't run betaflight 3.5.7. So if you are not a fan of betaflight 4. than the geprc or betafpv boards have 3.5.7 available in version of betaflight.

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..
