Ethix Lemon-Lime Props and a Coconut colored 3d printed PLA frame - looks like a drink to me ;p. My Son-In-Law wanted to get into drones and I had spare parts laying around and found the plans on thingiverse. This has a CC3D Evo running Cleanflight (OMG it is still supported...lol) and uses LittleBees ESCs running Multishot. Default PID settings were fine, and did a LOS maiden it flies great! I need a real cam on this but this will be fine for fpv testing. All up weight is about 369 grams without battery. Printed this on a AnyCubic Mega-S and did 100% infill to make it as strong as possible...crashing is not advisable... ;)
Maiden FPV Flight..man this needs a better cam...

You are cool for building this for your son in law. It's going to EXPLODE.
That being said, the print looks great. PLA, PETG, or TPU?
"Explode" is the right word..🤣...I used PLA. ABS or PETG would be better (stronger). TPU is good for small quad canopies and such, to soft for a frame. He flew it alittle and had to rescue him..lol. So I'll give him a better drone to practice with (slow and rugged) 😉. Tested the FPV today on it..real crappy cam but it worked...😜

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class!

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..

What 3d printer do you use? Any one you would recomend?
The AnyCubic i3 Mega S - https://www.anycubic.com/collections/anycubic-mega-3d-printers/products/anycubic-i3-mega-s
It's a great printer, very reliable, and inexpensive...for a bit more I would get the next model up:

Has easier leveling system, can print using PETG filiment, and and is alittle bit faster
