Armattan marmotte 6S build

This is my first quad build. i spent a lit of time looking qt different frame options and finally settled on the marmotte and from there looked at other build threads for ideas on what i would put in it.

I wanted to use a FC/esc stack as it seems like it would be easier than having separate esc's.

My biggest concern was if i would be able to get the jeti radio gear i already used for flying fixed wing working. Many things i had read lead me to think it would be difficult if jot impossible.

Once i got started it came together quickly and next was the radio wiring. after reviewing existing issues on github and with the help of those already using jeti rc gear i managed to get the radio and quad talking and the setup is pretty much done.

after looking at many reviews of goggles i settled on the skyzone 030s and im just waiting for my prescription diopters and to get my osd control setup and its ready to fly

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.

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..
