Not really a build, but thought I'd share the kwad anyway. Custom cut Fire & Rescue vinyl lettering, and cast resin emergency beacon lights. Riveting on the arms is from a 1/24 NASCAR decal sheet. She's old school, but I still fly her on occasion.

man I love old designs like this and the robocat. I wonder if there's a frame kit out there for this.
I loved my Robocat build. That was a heavy, but fun kwad to fly. I should pick up another frame and build it out with more modern elecs. That'd be a cool bird. I'm pretty sure you can get all of the Rodeo 150 frame parts online still. I've actually considered picking up all the parts and seeing what I can do with it with a 16x16 stack and lighter motors.
i had one of thesr the black one, i loved it til the motors went out, cool to see this again, i like looking at the old stuff an compairing it to todays stuff ......we have come hell of far from 2016 for sure.
Happy flying brother!!!

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..

They are nice to have. I need to print something similar for a couple of my other quads.
very simple cheap fast replace-able solution nylon Zip Ties.... But extremely ugly else disgusting :)
I am using it for lots drones bcus useful for big battery... not landing on it and plus protection when crush happen :)
Might try zip ties on a couple of the smaller ones since they'll be lighter than adding printed ones.
