This is my first quad and i like it for this reason no propelers view, good motor and really strong frame at the impact.
I do for this frame an air cooling system for Dji air unit to decrease temperature during flight.
You can find on https://www.thingiverse.com many 3D printed part i do for this frame.
Hope you enjoy this design.

What a greate design... Bravo! I have design Arm Brace to protect the weak arm of the DC5. After few arm break I think it value the extra cost...
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4557318 It is now far more stronger than my CatalystMachinWorks Smooth Operator. Maybe it could interest you

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..

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..
