Hyperlite Floss 3.0 Lite

Went to my first race a couple of months ago and got bit hard from the racing Bug! After my freestyle rig took a good beat down from the first race, I had to build a race quad that was meant for racing and the abuse it comes with.
Decided on the Hyperlite Floss 3.0 Lite, since it was designed for a 20 x 20 stack and parts were readily available. The frame is super light, but I ended up designing some TPU parts for some initial protection while I learned to run gates.
The 20 x 20 boards are small, but it was still a tight squeeze fitting everything under the canopy.

Since I knew I was going to get passed often, I wanted others to be able to see me as much as possible, so I added LED's to bottom of the arms.

Built it with the hybrid rear arms and got it running on a 6S 1100 mah battery that is small and lighter. The bird flies great, rails corners, and can definitely take a beating!

A beautiful build! I strongly recommend that you get the front arm brace, because it is a lifesaver. It can also look good if you color it well. ;)

Glorious in all regards. And so, so tidy. Dear me that's neat.

Thanks! Might take it out to Alameda Point this weekend for a quick Rip!

Oh? Flying field with the gazebo next to the Douglas Skyhawk-on-a-stick? I might get to see it in action then! From a socially responsible distance, of course...

1st of all, this rig looks SICK. It's amazing how small parts have gotten for racing, your vtx antenna looks HUGE. Just a year ago (maybe a year and a half) that was the smallest circular polarised antenna on the market... now it's like you strapped a refrigerator on your back. Your color coordination, and wire routing are on point.

yeah, this thing is definitely smaller than my freestyle quad. I ordered a 5" frame, but after I built it, I thought they may have sent me a 4" frame!

Build a 5" Long Range Drone - Transformer Ultralight

Jun 21, 2021

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
