I knew when I heard about the upcoming 2004's from BrotherHobby that there would be a set of 4 in my future!
I haven't been able to get a BetaFPV 35a aio yet so I decided to use their 20a v3 aio. Now this means I need to dial it back a bit to keep from frying the aio. With the Gemfan 5125 Hurricanes in the photos, the throttle needs to be limited to 80%. Another prop option is the HQ T5x2 bi-blade. The throttle limit can be turned up to 85% for the bi-blades.
An ultralight 5" can definitely be made even lighter than the 155.1g of this build. I've already seen some builds @20-25g lighter! Can't wait to get my hands on the BetaFPV 35a aio or even the upcoming CLRacing aio to really unleash these beasty new BrotherHobby motors!
PS - the Megabat canopy was TOO cool not to use! ;p

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..

How are you liking these motors? I build a Power Pick 5" similar to this with 2203 FPV Cycle motors. I got tangled up in a tree and fell maybe 5 feet down onto concrete and somehow bent 2 motors in the process. I don't think I'm going to replace them as they are a little heavy (20g) and didn't seem to hold up to a minor impact. So I'm interested in these or the xnova 1804.
