Wanted to make a lower kv 4s build after flying one of my friends 5s quad on 4s. It felt like flying the origial 2.5in toothpick on 4s, where you can just hammer the trottle while still in full controll. Unfortuanlty I faild to achive that feeling with this quad. The 5s quad I flew was running a 2208 2150kv motor so I figured 2207.5 2222kv should be in the same ballpark, but I think these Hyperlite motors are more in the 2300kv range. It may not be the 5in I was intending to build, but I am enjoying its flight characteristics and having fun.
Using 20mm Standoffs
9/18/20 Running BF 4.2.2 with Cinematic presets and bidirectional dshot and there is barely any prop wash.

Where did you get that cap mount? that would be perfect for my apex HD frame, tucked right behind the camera!
I just uploaded it to Thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4621231 I've been meaning to put it on my Apex HD frame also, but I've been lazy.
Build looks great, especially your wiring for the driveline! The way you handled the battery lead/cap mounting is exceptional!
Bummed you didn't get what you wanted, maybe lower your max throttle to 80%?
How did you get those threaded inserts into the rear 20x20 mount?
Thanks! I have a wiring OCD problem lol. Thats a good idea, I should cap the throttle a bit. I pressed them in with a pair of pliers then I used washer and a screw on the other end to tighten them flush with the frame. I got the idea from when I was building my Apex HD http://apex-docs.impulserc.com/ "Look at step 3"
I've been looking to redo my source frame. do you have a link to the 3d prints? how tall are your knurled standoffs? thank you. beautiful build!
I remixed a the caddx vista antenna mount, xt60 and capacitor holder. If you want those parts I can upload them to thingiverse. The standoffs are 20mm.

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..

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..

I would recommend printing it with stainsmart TPU. If you print it with a harder TPU it will be really hard to take on and off.
