Since im addicted to building quads , I figured i should build my first 4". Wasnt trying to build the lightest nor the heaviest of quads, just something that flew well, and was fast. I think I achieved that.

****Still tuning, might try 1606 4000kv motors.

I did try emax 1606 4000kv motors, and did not notice a performance increase, just less efficient. Put the Brother Hobby 1507 4100kv motors back on. Took a lot of tuning to get to fly the way i like, but must say this is my fastest quad i have. Its an absolute rocket ship, and fun to fly.

Hi there ! I have used exactly the same FC - Mamba mini MK3 , connected my crossfire nano wiring exactly the same as your photo. I have enabled Serial Rx on UART1 in Betaflight but I am getting no stick inputs at all. The Crossfire is succesfully bound - did you have this issue ? Can you think of anything I might be doing wrong ??

Have you made sure your crossfire module & receiver are on same firmware? I use a Nirvana transmitter and i had issues with the latest firmware of crossfire, and had to downgrade to few versions below. When i get a chance ill check my betaflight config, and make sure i didnt have to do anything unusual to get this to work.

Yes - when I bound the crossfire nano to my Tango 2 , it automatically updated the receiver and bound successfully - so i assume they are on same firmware.

Did you ever get your receiver going? Sorry for slow response, haven't even had time to even fly lately.

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..
