The Skinny

I like to create and experiment. So this is something I've always wanted to do. Make a skinny quad. With the Spedix LS40A escs I can free up a lot of space from the stack and put the ESCs on the arms. Even 8mm wide arms.

There are 2 photos, 1 showing the main body is about the same width as my thumb. The other with a 30x30 flight controller on top.

Boomerang 6mm thick arms. The "fin" has a crossfire PCB antenna in it.
went with 2206 motors instead of 2306 or 2207 to keep it light. Won't be racing this.

The rest you can guess. This is a one-off. Initial frame was cut by cncmadness. It's incredibly stiff and the 6mm arms should not break. Can fly medium aggressively for 2.5 minutes on an 1100 6s CNHL battery. Works great with rpm filtering on betaflight 4.1 also.

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..
