Probably my favourite quad right now
The 1203 motors and 2.5" triblades rip balls, and crossfire gives the confidence needed.
Photos show a hglrc nano VTX but I have a tbs 32 nano on the way which will make it into this quad.
So far I've only flown it 2S (see video), but this will definitely be even wilder on 3S.

Also it looks badass I would say.

It definitely has a cool, and unique look. This is the first I've seen of these frames. Thanks for sharing!

göad you like it!
If you search for R3D you will find other builds. kust be careful the frame only takes 20x20 boards, and realistically the HGLRC board is the only?/best option I think for this.

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.
