Had a lot of fun building the Raven!
This is seriously the sexiest frame I have ever used.

Big fan of the Diatone stacks also. I was worried about overheating in the small canopy, but there's actually a lot of room and airflow isn't an issue.
I've put 20 packs through this quad now with no issues at all, even at 800mW power.

I purchase all my gear from KiwiQuads in New Zealand.

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..
