update 11/03/2020 bought a sovol sv01 3d printer and added the parts to the quad.

this is my 3rd, before my 1st, an armattan marmotte had flown.

The thought was that i might be better starting to fly on a frame thats a little cheaper. especially when i want to start doing some aerobatic manouvers sooner than later.

I opted to use parts that im familiar with in terms of FC/ESC stack, vtx, reciever, camera etc, etc.

I managed to get out this weekend with all 3 quads and flew them all.

Starting point for betaflight pid setup was essentially the same as my 2 other quads the baseline was starting with m490fpv's kopis build.

I flew my diatone taycan first and then the source one. The feel of this quad with the same setup as the taycan was so much more locked in and smooth
and took no time to get comfortable with.

Everything about thos quad feels smooth and precise so i put a few more packs on it and enjoyed it more wth each one.

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..
