Hi again.
Yes another X8 or more correct to call it a coax 4. because i do not run 8 motor outputs , so the props on each arm do not counter rotate as they should in a X8 config,
Reasons i only run it with 4 motor outputs is ,
A i do not have a spare fc with 8 outputs.
B having counter rotating props stacked on top of each other , in my opinion is just adding variables that are not needed.
Also i am running 2 sets of diferent esc s , 4 hglrc 60a bl32 and 4 flycolor 30a bl-s esc.
no rpm filtering
Dshot 300 and props out
I added a second pdb not relying on the aio fc to carry any motor load and added a couple of big caps.
Default everything in BF pids rates and filters.
posting the maiden flight in all its glory now, leave a coment on my yt chanel such as it is.
Yes the blue tape is ugly.
Crashed it and smashed the ends off the arms as it cartwheeled acros the ground, only the frame was damaged, it broke where the hole for the motor mount went through the arm. I new it would fail at that point. just a matter of how hard it crashed and when.

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..

So, does it fly?
flight footage on my yt chanel ,
Just saw the video, did something break off at the end of the flight?
Anyways, your TWR as shown in the video, insane!
I bet a 3" version of this would be allt of fun.
Hi I am working on a 3" . But what is TWR ?. Nothing broke but a motor was a tad loose .
TWR = Thrust to Weight Rato
The better the TWR, the easier it is to get airborne. That being said, too much can make a Copter hard to control, especially if the PID's and Props are not idea. Mind you, not saying this is / was the case here, just making a point.
