I've been enjoying my slow cruising 5" Marmotte so much that I decided to build a 6 inch Armattan Badger for long range with a GPS.
I originally went with the Holybro Kakute F7 & Tekko32 4in1 ESC 30x30 3-6S Stack/Combo but after completing the build the ESC would not report the mAh consumption, even though telemetry was working fine, so I pulled the stack and started again. This time I went with the Matek F722-SE F7 and separate Spedix GS35 2-6S 32Bit DShot1200 35A ESCs. The GPS is the BN-220, it's working great for GPS Rescue mode and flight data.
I drew and printed the GPS / VTx antenna mount and the 2 piece GoPro Hero7 mount. I had printed a similar Hero 7 mount that I found on Thingiverse but it didn't fit properly so I drew up my own. The Crossfire antenna mount, front bumper and arm guards are from Thingiverse.
The rest of the build is fairly standard components consisting of a Runcam Micro Swift 2, Xing 2306-1700kv motors, Rush Tank Ultimate VTx, Crossfire Nano Rx and Matek buzzer.

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..

Love the colour scheme, mind me asking the batteries used on it (4S/6S & capacities) and the flight times you've got out of it? Lastly have you flown it on Li-ion battery packs for the supposed longer times (only cinematic not acrobatic of course)?
