Hi my name is Jack and I am 11 years old, this is the freestyle drone that my dad and I built.
It's our first ever build and won't be the last. We are still fine tuning and have done about twenty successful flights.
The frame is the 2019 Armattan Marmotte.
We had to make a special bracket for mounting our Runcam Micro Eagle so that the standard brackets could work.
I came up with an Idea to protect the circuitry from the battery straps by putting a sheet of thin clear plastic underneath the top plate clamped by its screws.
The Armattan Marmotte frame is a really well built frame and I highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for a frame that will last many flights and it has a life time guarantee.
Next build I'd use a flight controller which accepts VBAT to avoid the 10V-5V BEC.

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..
