Went for a lightweight indoor/backyard quad (130g w/ battery). This might be happier in bigger spaces too. It is happy with 3S using a different tuning, but with how light these 500mAh 2S batteries are, it still rips.

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..
Read moreWith 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..

I've never seen a 2S Falcon 130, interesting choice. Is it tame enough to fly a large indoor area?
It's pretty tame if you're calmer with the sticks, so it would work in a larger indoor area nicely. My house has smaller rooms and hallways, so it only kind of works indoors (the whoop works a lot better), but probably would work nicely if it was a ducted frame like the Butters or something. I was planning on doing 3S, but bought a 2S battery at first just to test how it flew. It responded so well I bought another and tuned it for it.
Yeah, that interesting. Most of what I see now in the 120-130 size are 3" with 4S! Insanely fast, but way too much for indoors... at least a house anyway :)
