This is my first time posting a build,but not my first time building. Up until now,I had only flown quads with the battery on the bottom. Lately I've been flying a very lightweight racer(Mode 2 Ghost),so I wanted to try a top mount freestyle. I've been sitting on this frame for quite some time and finally got around to building it...it's already a bit dated,but I think they still sell them. It's also my first time trying 2207 motors. Test flew it today. My first impressions are that it seems very easy to control and a bit slow at the lower end of the throttle. It's very fun to fly and handles nicely,but it's not very efficient. It seemed a little jittery on stock BetaFlight 4.0 tune. Could be because it was pretty windy,but I need to learn how to tune to see if I can make it smoother. Flew several packs and had a blast,but then I had an unexpected rx loss. Nothing broken,but after reviewing the dvr,I cannot see a reason for the rx loss,so I'm not sure what happened. I also seem to be having a weird color issue with the Runcam. Reddish dirt roads turn very pink. Other colors look normal enough. If anyone has encountered this problem before,let me know.
Here's a brief clip from my dvr to show how it flies. Very windy day.....
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..
Read moreWith 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..
