Let's see how it go, should be not less efficient than my other 3" build.

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..

Nice build. I'm putting together something similar, light 5", almost identical motors, was going to try the 2S Li-ion batteries. What kind of flight times are you getting with your different batteries?
It's freezing cold here so no maiden yet. what was your flight time?
I'm waiting on parts from China, so I'm a bit behind you, might get here this week.
I'm trying to follow to some extent this person's design/ideas.

Some of the mods are over my head, but I have figured out changing the winding from Delta to Wye in the motors....LOL, we'll see if my build even gets off the ground.
Yeah, that's guy is awesome. I coppied his idea too, but I want smooth footage and some distance. So I put a set tbs nano rx & vtx in and did some tests around, its faster and more effieciency than my 3". I don't have time to finish a full pack yet (1st test: 1.2mah consumed for 10mins, 2nd test: 1,8mah consumed for 16mins) so it should get 20+ mins for fulll pack and much more if doing long range cruising only. Too bad, I can not fit the dji air unit in without too much modification, so I'm using the caddx ratel in for now.
