This is my main mid-long range rig, you can find all the parts & gear below!
A couple of build tips:
1) Install your stack using nylon screws, they absorb more vibrations than the steel ones.
2) Apply Locktite on all your main screws and on motor screws.
3) Make sure that the Immortal T is NOT COVERED BY THE ARM while the drone is moving forward, so Install it like mine, even a bit lower.
4) Vtx is discontinued. Use a TBS Unify HV instead.

YOU CAN FIND MY PIDs IN THE IMAGE BELOW. REMEMBER TO NOT FULLY COPY/PASTE THEM, JUST USE AS POSSIBLE GUIDELINES FOR YOUR PERSONAL TUNING!

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..
