This is my second ground up build. I've done a couple rebuilds and repairs since my CL1 build so I felt much more confident. I wanted to keep everything as clean as possible while using some different parts. I'm running Betaflight 4.1.4 with rpm filtering. I have 10 packs flow with this build so far and it flies great. Over all I am super happy.

note The VTX pictured is the AKK x1p 600mW. My RDQ Mach 3 arrived with a broke U.FL so I used my spare VTX to get flying until the replacement arrives.

I am kinda lost with t-motor line... some look like crystal, other like xing, and yours are pink 2207 which I thought was the color for 2306...

before that they named motors f40 f60 f80 with no indication of motor sizes :)

They fly well so far. I think they look pretty good too . I guess that's what counts? 

Hi, really nice build! I am curious how the new T-Motor Velox compare to the Xing E-2207 Motors since you fly both of them. Which one feels smoother and which one has more power? I am interested because I am planning to use one of those in my next build as well.

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..
