I have been building ultralight 3" to 5" for a while but mainly flies traditional 5" of late for HD footage. When I saw Kababfpv's youtube about this frame, it piqued my interest especially his 2203 3000KV pancake motor. I had always wanted to get his TP3 build in the past but it was always out of stock but the Fouride +2203 were in stock so I ordered two with spare arms. I built the 5 " first and will try the 4" later.
I really enjoy it. it is pretty quiet , smooth and efficient with Gemfan 5125 with 4.5-5mins on 4s 1300mah. No major tuning needed with BF 4.2 Bidirectional D shot. Hope to get a Gopro Session mount in the future.
Here's a video of a few flight after the maiden this week. Goggles DVR with fake superview in post.
and recent flight a few weeks after build. It has survived a few crashes without broken arms.

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..
