8km / 5mile Flight
why not list motors and props? are they that bad? lol
Wow this maybe the cleanest build I have seen when taking into account the size and all its features. Are you not running a gopro on it? or did you remove it to make it look cleaner.
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..

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..

Super clean build. Really like the the Antenna setup. I'm planning on using the VAS 915MHz mini's on my Super G build. What did you use for the antenna mounts (VAS)? Did you machine something custom? Or did you use something like a Steel mending plate and bent it at an angle?
Thanks! I fabricated the antenna mounts myself from a .6mm aluminum sheet and a 1.5mm black plastic sheet from Amazon. Both can be easily cut with household scissors. The aluminum mounts are attached to the frame with screws. The plastic mounts are between the aluminum mounts and the antenna. The plastic mount is to avoid having to mount the antennas on metal as it would mess with the antennas performance.
Very cool, I like the "V" orientation. Reminds me of the F22 Raptor. You could also 3d print a mount for those VAS antennas instead of plastic/metal. Do you know how the antennas compare with the Bardpole or TBS tuned antenna?
