This is a refresh of a long range analog build from about a year ago. Uses a Falcon Multirotors Raggio Lungo frame, Lumenier F7 FC, T-Motor ESC and motors. Runs on Pulse 6s 1800Mah batteries, with 7 inch props, she just chugs through air. Hovers at 13% throttle with a Go-pro.

I retro-fit a DJI FPV system into the frame. Which was quite difficult. I had to remix all but the back landing leg 3D-prints to get it to fit. The flight controller stack needed to be shifted forward 7mm due to the air unit/camera cable length.

Im a bit of a LED fanatic. So I had a ton of fun wiring up the LEDs and creating the diffusers.

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..
