This Quad is Decommissioned
I prefer 4" over 5" for where i live/my skills

This is my very first modern FPV-Quad. I started this hobby 5 years ago with a Hobbyking Robocat and a Naze32.. it never flew good ... xD

This drone on the other hand flies like a dream!
Its a relatively simple build, nothing special just sharing my solutions with you guys!

Printed parts linked in parts list.
Will soon be adding R9-Mini reciever!

Do you have a link to those STL files? I Really like the Cam mount better than what I'm currently using and I probably would use that antenna mount too. HA! Thanks for sharing your build.

It sure looks cool in dark, but not bright enough for helping me see, unless tight indoor flying :)

Jun 21, 2021

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class!

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..
