This build was intended to be a test of the betaflight 4.x.x firmware. I didn't want to switch or was hesitant. It took some time to get used to the new way of tuning via filters and sliders,. Though, to fine tune further, I think I'd have to break away from the sliders. I was massively surprised on how good the 4.x.x firmware really is! As long as you set it right, it flies awesome with hardly any tuning!! I will probably fine tune it further but it already flies great as it is. Well, at least for my piloting skill level.... Having said that, I will eventually migrate most of my builds to the new firmware. :)
The GEPRC frame is pretty light for a freestyle frame. It's hard to find frames this stiff and light. Or at least, we don't have much to choose from.
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..
Read moreWith 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..

Nice build! What is the AUW?
Thanks. :) It really depends on which lipo I use. The quad itself with the gopro and everything else minus LiPo is around 435g. (I'll have to remeasure this to be accurate.) I don't have the lightest and most expensive LiPos. If I use my tbs graphene 1000mAH, I get around 610g AUW. ~660g with my CHNL 1300mAH black. ~645g with my new ovonic 1300mAH. I also have heavier older 1550mAH tattu's, they're damn heavy. My quad goes a little bit more than 700g. I can really feel the weight. Around 650g is perfect. All 6s just to not forget to mention it. hehe
Thanks, I want to build similar :)
It's really awesome. This frame is so awesome. Freestyle frames with a weight around the 100g range are rare. There's Kebab's FPV Cylcle Glide Lite and regular glide which weight both at 87g and 97g, respectively. I wanted to get those but they're hard to get and always out of stock. So I went for this frame. By far, the best frame I've had. No weird resonances, thus, no mid-throttle oscillations and jello. This is a recent I edit I made. I crashed hard a few times. It survived so far. hehe
I think you're gonna love this frame. :) It reacts like a racer and hangs/drifts like a freestyler. :D
Great! I also like Kabab's designs and wated Glide but because same reasons as you I decide I'll get GEPRC :) Can't wait to fly one.
Smooth and steady flight, nicely done :)
Could you link to 3D printed parts?
Hey I'm not sure if these are the exact files. I just searched for it in thingiverse. :)
