This is my first build I built about a year ago using UAV features $100 build guide. I went to the more expensive side and started flying without fpv first. After I found getfpv.com, I decided that I was no longer going to buy the cheapest parts available so I went ahead and spent $90 on fpv parts. Overall, it is a good reliable drone with enough power for a beginner. It has been rebuilt several times, with shorter standoffs, and a new top plate, but otherwise has been really good. Really recomended for beginnners. Flysky Radio has a lower range than hoped. I have lost signal and activated failsafe for a short amount of time twice. Luckily I was able to catch signal again before crashing. I think changing over to a 200mw vtx would help to stay within the radio's range.

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..
