Pick4Plus+

This is my custom 4" plus-style toothpick.
It started as a 3" V-tail.. that failed, then I thought I would just put it on a new frame.. Now almost all parts are new xD
The frame is built to theoretically support the Caddx Vista system.. Though poor me only have analog so I cannot verify it.. YET!!

It flies like a dream! I love these motors! It feels much smaller than a 5" even though it flies very similar. It also is slightly less noisy.

I only got 8 packs in it before I got too brave and killed the AIO board in a(HARD) crash. I will figure out a way to protect the FC better in the final version of the frame.. But boy does it take a beating! I did not expect the frame to be as durable as it is!.
Orange pod is coming up as well!

Details:

Prop-free view from 20 degrees cam tilt.
Frame weight(Carbon, standoffs, Pod & LED's): 49 g
Dry weight(With props): 210 g
AUW(4s1300mAh): 377 g
Flight time(4s1400mAh): 6-7 min of smooth freestyle.
Ideal battery: 4s1100-1300mAh

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
