Pre-orders are now open for the Falcon Multirotors Solleva! Get yours for only $79, or $59 if you print your own accessories!
Solleva artfully balances center of gravity, aerodynamics, weight, and strength. The vertical arm design means the frame has much less air resistance than a traditional frame, with the angled plates actually adding lift and providing side-force generation to keep corners tight.
The motor mounts are placed so that the center of mass is near perfectly aligned with the center of thrust, and Solleva's rear motors are elevated to stay out of the front motor's propwash.
The result is a quad that feels more like a simulation than an object subject to the real-world laws of physics.

Would you mind showing how you mounted your crossfire antenna / and what LEDs you went with on the back?
Absolutely. The antenna is a TBS XF-Race antenna, and it's ziptied to the right rear arm (motor 1) opposite of the RaceWire. It uses a small foam pad to separate it from the carbon. Though this is FAR from ideal (it doesn't even point up like it's supposed to), it will be more than sufficient for race.
The LEDs are generic WS2812 strips from Amazon (https://amzn.to/2B5rsFs), ziptied in 3 places to the rear brace. Be sure to get the 144 LED per 1 meter strips, they're nice and dense.

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 a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
