QAV-Skitzo Dark Matter
By Mayday_Mayhem on Feb 22, 2017
I ordered the QAV-Skitzo Dark Matter frame after seeing it in video with Le Drib on Youtube. Le Drib won the frame in some sort of contest needless to say. She off bully and ready to fly.

using the vertical VTX mount under the top plate, did that make the top plat a little out of level? I just got this frame and have to decide on motors- I don't want the ceramic because I crash too much and need something more durable- any suggestions anyone?
Mayday_Mayhem, have you built this completely yet? My interest comes from the fact that I have the same setup in mind. I have the frame already and am contemplating the Skitzo motors. How are they? I have only used Emax motors and have had good luck and find they are very responsive. However, I am interested in Lumenier and only right to get Skitzo motors for Skitzo frame. Just wanted some feedback. The only difference in my build is that I will be using the Betaflight F3 flight controller once it comes out. Thanks!
Stupid Questions, but do those Skitzo motors turn both ways? I am more familiar with Emax where one type turns CW and the other CCW.
BlackbirdFPV, even with emax the CW and CCW just refers to the lock nuts, brushless motors can spin both directions, the rotation just refers to the threading for the lock nut. CW motors are intended to spin CW and so the threading I believe is CCW so the spinning of the motor actually tightens the nut. Likewise CCW motors I believe have CW threading. I am not positive on the whole CCW motors have CW threading etc but I am certain the intended rotation of the motor means it should self tighten the prop nut. That being said, just use nylock nuts and get all the same motors (I believe CCW motors give you regular CW rotation prop nuts) so you don't have to worry about which direction to turn your prop nuts.
Are you going to put the stickers on it, for the full effect?

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..

Looks awesome man, how is that AIO FC working out?
It's working out great easy install. Lots of real estate left on the aircraft.
Got any flight videos?
I will tonight. Today is the first day if flying/ tuning.
How's that AIO board been working out?
