Exorcist

Arguably the sexiest FPV racing frame (Albeit also the most impractical) made to date. I actually have had this frame for a while and was just waiting for the right components to show up to actually buid it out. When the 533 motors came out (basically xnova lite 1950kv motors) I wanted to compare them to the 1800kv xnovas that I'm running on my racing quads this year, sooooo, done and done. It’s REALLY a nice piece of manufacturing. $150. And as far as I’m concerned I have no clue how they are making any money on it. Gorgeous CF layup and all kinds of billet CNC machined parts. If I made this thing I’d charge $750 for it(I'm a machinist and also do composite layup on full scale aircraft) and still probably lose money. The build came in at 281 grams less props and 297 grams full up everything. The frame is incredibly rigid and I swear you can feel that in the flight characteristics but again, totally impractical for racing. What? Break an arm and toss the whole thing? Or is it indestructible? Not likely. But it sure is Purdy. Cheers!

So it's just a dash ornament for your airplane??
JK, love the build and the frame! Awesome work!
By the way, what sort of tape did you use for the motor wires and LED boards. It looks like clear packing tape but I can't be sure.
Thanks. Not packing tape. It's called "Dance floor tape". I used to use that self fusing clear silicone tape, but never really loved it. I was heavy and when a prop hit it, it spread open like a flesh wound, so I started looking for something better for this years builds. That dance floor tape is perfect. Light, stretchy, and tough. Love it. Kinda like electrical tape, but they dont make clear electrical tape... Get some. Its groovey man...

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..

Jim, I want one. After seeing you fly this I've been on a mission to find out if I can build something that will tow my GoPro at speeds like that. That's going to be a future project for me. This is an incredible build. Fantastic job.
