9/10 difficulty
AUW: 671
5 min flight if you don't push it to hard
The frame was pretty hard to assemble because you really have to screw the bolts into the carbon. I would recommend pre-screwing all the bolts a couple of times to loosen up the holes.
Plan your layout BEFORE you cut your wires
I used zip ties to secure all the antennas and I used another zip tie to make sure that the Unify Pro UFL doesn't come undone.
The white noise VTX board was very hard to use and I ended up just using the pigtail that comes with the VTX to connect the Unify to the FC instead of using the breakout pads on the white noise board.
I also had to modify the jumper cable to connect the FC to the ESC. Use the manual of the two components to figure out VBAT, Ground, Telemetry, and Current. Then switch the motor wires as needed to get all of the motors to spin in the right order in betaflight. You may also need to switch the direction on some motors in the BL_Heli_32 suite.

have you tuned your quad at all? id be interested in your pids if you changed them from stock
So I love this. That being said, that is an INSANELY thin bottom plate, I would have to have a stack of those to even consider using this as a daily flier.
Tbh I would just make a 3mm thick one, and a 2mm thick top plate (maybe 2.5) and just have something that will survive.
Hawt tho, reeeeeeeal hawt
p.s. why the chunky antenna?
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..

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..
