When Bob Roogi (KabobFPV) first mentioned designing and releasing the Glide Premium on his store, FPV Cycle, I couldn't wait for it to be released! I had the frame for a few months before I purchased any of the internals. Providing for the family comes first so I took my time and chose parts wisely. I had previously built a couple of Armattan Chameleons and a Hyperlite Floss v2 but I wanted this to be the absolute cleanest build I could achieve. It was also the first time using a 20x20 flight controller in the front of the build. I'm very proud of the way it came out and it flies great! Time to tune and dial it in!

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..
Read moreWith 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..

Sweet Build! Do you mind sharing your pids/tune? I just finished building a 6s setup on this frame and Im having some twitchiness/unstableness on the pitch axis and cant tune it out. thanks!
I just recently replaced the Kakute F7 Mini (which was mounted in the front) to a 30x30 Kakute F4 mounted on top of the ESC. I was really unhappy with the flight characteristics of with the F7 Mini in the front. In the past I've always had good luck Kakute F4 (foam mounted gyro) so I went back to what I know and am familiar with. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help :(
