Huge, 9.4" quadcopter frame based on TBS SourceOne frame elements and typical racer parts.
It uses DJI Phantom II motors/propellers because of it popularity and price. I have never expected DJI 2312 motor designed fo 4s will handle 5s or even more voltage. Tune PIDs, make sure motors will not become hot becouse of vibrations or bad FC tuning and it will work fine with a heavy load.
Quadcopter created to fly long and far on LION batteries, my slightly lighter setup (same electronics) last year was able to hover 55 minutes using 5s3p battery (12Ah+). Typical flight time on 5s1p is 25 minutes, 5s2p gives 35 minutes. Older arms have been made of woods (dry oak ;-)). Current RTF weight is more than 600g, 5s2s LION adds another half of kilogram, so make sure you will fly securely for other people (far from them). This will harm others just like X-class when have the speed. But the sound of heavy loaded ~10" props ... is amazing, believe me.
Pictures taken for prototype arms, current design has been improved and optimized for non-support 3D printing.
Arms has a space, a tunnel for motor and LED cables inside aluminum pipes, also central arm mount has holes to lead this cables to the ESC.
I expect I will improve it in the future
Build a bit 'under construction', but ready to share and comments ...

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..
