This was my first quad and as such I crashed it a lot.
Current Version: https://rotorbuilds.com/build/19305
Inbetween Version: https://rotorbuilds.com/build/19283

Purchased the whole kwad used. Put an xm+ in it and that was the first component I ever soldered on a kwad. First time in the air was with this guy.


And it flew great for me (lots of mid throttle oscillations, but I didn't know what that was yet)

That was until I updated firmware and then things stopped working. I then jumped off the deep end of tinkering, troubleshooting, and buying parts.

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.

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
