7" MTN LAB
By NorCalNomad on Apr 25, 2020
Long range 7" build for swooping around the MTNs of the west. Will get 4s powered so I can share batteries with my 5". Going to make some series XT60 connectors so I can throw together two of my 3s's and see how it'd be on 6s.
Weight sans battery, gps unit, and some TPU parts: 490grams
Updates (during build):
-I'm an idiot and only ordered 1 Racestar BR2508S motor (and more are on backorder)...so guess I'm upgrading to BrotherHobby 2507 1500kv motors. More modeling practice I guess.
-Since I can't find a crossfire tx anywhere this guy has a Jumper R1+ in there right now to get it flying. Still waiting on the GPS unit to get here and have some TPU parts to design.
Using this also as a way to learn Fusion360 so there will be renders in the photos as well. I'll be putting my 3D models online as well at both grabcad and thingverse. So like the DALPROP T7056C's that I just modeled in high detail are there right now for your own projects.

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..
