[if you are building this, the antenna ear protectors are on backwards in the pictures below, make sure they are pointing the right way or they won't protect much :-) ]

Decided to build Banggood's doinker/halo micro brushless clone. The BNF isn't available yet, but all the parts and frame are, so I gave it a shot. Relatively smooth and painless build, but the cam/vtx combo will require some alternative mounting solution because the included two-sided tape was no good. Also, this is far from the lightest design for a 90mm brushless, so if weight is your concern look elsewhere. Otherwise this seems to be a pretty good, sturdy 2S backyard basher.

you have put the motors as 4x4x because they ship as a pack of four, it makes the price look higher than it should

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..
