Here's my Skitzo Nova 3" 4s ripper.

Just getting back around to finishing up this build post, had the drone flying for a few months now, and shes been great.

This was a rather fun build, ended up using a complete overkill 50amp esc on a 3" frame, i know its pointless, but hey, why not haha, did had some fitment issues with the stack, but with a little ingenuity, i was able to drill new stack holes and make it all fit great. (see pictures below for the new stack holes, and filled the old holes with expoxy.)

Using x-lite pro access radio with frsky rxsr with fport and the radio receiver signal has been great.

Been running the latest alpha versions of flightone falcox on this little guy the last few months, and man does this little guy absolutely scream.

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..
