This is the new Armattan Bumper frame which is a BLAST to fly in tight places! It has the mobility of a tinywhoop but with much more power on 2S or 3S. The foam surround keeps everything in your house safe and the thing literally bounces off of obstacles and keeps flying.

I built one of these using a piko blx and dys 1102 motors and furious 1935 props on 2s. Nice and docile in the house with no damage to the walls or kids. I dremelled a hole for the camera in the foam and the vtx ended up melting down after using it twice. Not sure if it's due to a soldering error or if the vtx against the foam caused it to overheat. 3s seems to be too much for the motors as they get crazy hot.

I've been waiting to see one of these! How does it perform?

Well on a 450mah 3S with the RX3020 props cut down it does ok, I get about 2:30 flight though so I'm still searching for a more efficient propeller. Otherwise it is an absolute BLAST to fly. As fun as a tiny whoop but a lot more control and power obviously. It is pretty noisy though with the ducts but again I think the right prop will help that. I'm trying to find a ducted fan prop that will fit it. The blade inductrix 200 prop is the only candidate thus far so I might try those.

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..
