After building my first build which was the TBS source one, i had to build a micro and found the TBS source micro frame. Although not many other builds have been made of this frame which i can find, so i decided to make one to see why. This frame flies incredible. It has lots of space to fit components, and it flies super smooth after tuning. Overall I'm very happy with this build and decided to share it.

Great build!
I'm waiting for mine to arrive soon.
I've seen mixed information as to whether 2.5" props hit the frame or not.
Did you have to trim these props to make them fit or are they true bullnose style?

Yes I trim the props, They still fly great and I would not think it would make much of a difference as the amount
that you trim off is tiny. But I could be wrong lol.

Sí, pero solo una pequeña cantidad. no afecta el vuelo

i didn't think top mount would be very good and was planning for bottom mount, but it actually works really well on the source micro 

if i understand right, topmount is allways better for flydynamcis, because the cog is more near to the propsurface, or directly at the propsurface. my understanting is that bottom mount only has benefits for practice, care about the battery x-)
but im not to sure about

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..
