The build is running BF 4.1.2 | Dshot300 4k/4k | RPM filter enabled.

It has GPS recovery and failsafe enabled. I get roughly 8min flight on a 6S 1300mah battery. ( I have larger batterys coming in to push me over that 10min mark ) That flight time was achieved at 40% throttle (roughly 55mph). GPS has recorded top speeds of over 100mph.

Here is the completed build -

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..
