Diatone GT-R249+

So I bought a stock Diatone GT-R249+ did some flying and it was really fun. What it was lacking was HD to post / watch / show.
When Runcam Split 3 Nano appeared I thought this might be a good idea. There was a RTF with HD so why not?
I ordered Runcam and a thought striked me that a 4 boards in stack will not fit stock canopy no matter how I tried.
(except ESC and FC i had TBS edition so 3rd layer of stack was a Unify)
Rush Tiny Tank was announced and was about to be available on January, since Rush has a good record of building VTXs I grabbed mine and had everything ready.
In the meanwhile I managed to buy a Crossfire Nano RX so it landed here also.
The canopy is an awesome project by Legend Mauler available at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3796620 I had to drill a hole for VTX Antenna and cut side 'teeth' to make space for props. My print is about twice weight of stock one but it's roomy and looking awesome.

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..
