Sailfly motors and fc
Mobula 7 frame
Runcam nano2 2.1mm
Diamond VTX (onboard dvr)
i had a sailfly x but the camera angle was too fast and i wanted something that could go far and record good video so i changed to a great camera the runcam nano 2 and a 200mw vtx the happymodel diamond which also has onboard dvr. this is the first time using it it seems to record pretty good although when it changes files (every 2 minutes) it drops some frames... the good thing is that it starts recording automatically so i dont have to press any button... it sometimes drops frames on lots of fast motion and also doesnt keep a steady 30fps all the time. its not great but not bad. i put the sailfly x parts into a mobula 7 frame with the upgraded camera and vtx and with those motors in that frame it flies over 4 minutes on a 350mah 2s. its a good cruiser setup for angle mode but when i try to do acro moves it has horrible prop wash and washout and the wierd things that always happen when you try to dive with a ducted frame... it starts to try to fly like a wing instead of drop like a rock... anyways ill probably move all these components to another frame eventually but its a fun drone to fly for slow long cruises.

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..
Read moreWith 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..

Seriously. under a dog and bump a chicken. Love it. Ive got 10k 1103's (1.5mm) and 2S 350's. Any recomendation for props for that kind of control.
I just drill out the hole to fit the 1.5 shafts on whoop props. My main trick for control is I have 3 different throttle curves on a switch one is 100% next is 70% and one 50% when I want more resolution I use the 50%.. on 10k I'd probably never go over 70% it will only draw the battery down too fast...
Those motors might be perfect on a 2 inch with Avan blur props
