This is my 8 inch Pikachu. I built this for freestyle and long range.
It has overawing power for freestyle with a thrust to weight between 11~14:1 . I've tested this build on 7035 tri-blade propellers. I chose 8045 tri-blade props instead because it hovers at a lower RPM (much more quiet), it has incredible cornering and yaw performance, it can start and stop quicker (more agile) compared to the 7 inch props.
The motors don't get too hot on the 8" props. It works fine here in West Lafayette, Indiana even during strong cold winds.
I use BetaFlight and iNav.
It has incredible agility on 4S and it is out of this world on a 6S lipo.

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.
