Here is the apex Steele version totally hydrodipped. This frame is insane....It flies so well ! So locked! And the fpv feed is crystal clear: no need Dji ^_^
Fly time is just insane (check out the video : I'm pretty fast and I flew 4 min)

gopro mount from 3Dracerxyz is just amazing !

Hope you enjoy this build

Is it possible to get a link for the 3d files you used? Thank you!

c0pternoob Apr 13, 2021

Question:
the ESC says its just for max 5S Betteries but you are using a 6S Lipo. How you do that?

R.eyvprdctn Feb 11, 2021

Awesome Build!
Where could I get the file from 3Dracerxyz? It is not on Thingiverse - right?
Thanks very much:)

MrCrowley Feb 06, 2020

What are the two caps hooked up to?

Pimpmykwad Feb 01, 2020

for avoid electronic noise from esc...and have a clear fpv feed

JUSTiFLY_FPV Feb 03, 2020

Thank you, I meant what do you have them wired to? I have seen one cap hooked to the lipo pads, but never two. What are they both wired to?
Beautiful build btw!

Pimpmykwad Feb 03, 2020

yes...the two caps are wired to the lipo pad.... I used two little caps (more esay to build) and not a big one (50V 1000 uF are HUGE !!!)

what does that apex regulator board do?

Pimpmykwad Jan 24, 2020

it's a power distributor...and provide a very clean and stable power for fpv feed..... I never ever got such a clean fpv feed..... so clean that I bought others regulator for my other quad!!!

denbleyg Jan 24, 2020

Did you only ran your vtx and cam to it? I checked it out and I noticed it has for led's also.

Pimpmykwad Jan 25, 2020

yep....dont use LED on this build

Pimpmykwad Jan 24, 2020

Build a 5" Long Range Drone - Transformer Ultralight

Jun 21, 2021

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
