Racer399 - Practice Rig - R4 Street Conversion

The Racer399 takes the already bullet proof Project 399 Practice Rig Frame, and retrofits it into a DRL Style Racer 4 Canopy. This modification requires only the 2 halfplates (3mm each), and 4 arms (6mm each). There is an example of the frame build on this site showing the configuration of the carbon. If you choose to take your existing practice rig and use it in this configuration, you will require the 3D printed pieces for assembly. Please note that there are a few options depending on the setup you are using. Select the appropriate Camera Cradle for the HD DJI AirUnit or Analog Camera System. The Analog camera has been tested to fit a RunCam Racer or Microswift. The bottom shell also has two options, a 5s 1800mah battery or 5s 2200mah battery. Currently 2200mah 5s batteries are available from various online FPV stores. The 2200mah bottom canopy was designed around the Pyrodrone 2200mah 5s pack. Since the Pyrodrone Pack is slightly larger than the RDQ or CNHL Battery, these should fit as well in the battery cavity.

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..
