Love this quad! if i run a AIO is there room for a vista?

techguy1623 Mar 27, 2023

No That would be nice tho

Very clean build. however not even close to fastest A>B. I fly strictly LOS with simial builds but much lighter as I dont need cam/vtv/canopy etc. imagine the speeds I get.

techguy1623 Dec 28, 2020

We should line them up zip-zip

skywalker209 Dec 17, 2020

Nice rig. I noticed you put 4s motors on a 6s battery. How is the holding up any issues with dsyncs hot motors etc? can you share your beheli32 config. I see a 202mph that is very impressive. I like that phrase "Drag Drone" I'm building one now maybe we could line them up hehe.

Hi Skywalker, Thanks for the flowers. We'll I finally seen the magic smoke, but it wasn't the motors. The battery went first. I crashed it in the sand so I just replaced all the motors with new ones. Then my goggles went out -gurrr. I'm trying to figure out how to launch horizontally with LC enable and get these high speeds over 100mph. Just seems it always goes fastest straight up.
-maybe when the air temp is lower like now I'll get this thing really going. I'll share the config when Its solid. -still testing just swapped the FC out to the lux f7 30x30

I've read that while the frame is pretty strong that the canopy cant take a hit. Whats your exp. with that thus far?

SIDE NOTE: guessing thats why the shark-fin is added?

techguy1623 Dec 04, 2020

Well so good so far. The fin was added for stabilazation without the fin @ 150ish she would shake pretty bad. I'm thinking a fin on the bottom will serv it well -duno

Where did you source the antenna fin?

techguy1623 Dec 03, 2020

Amazon just search for drone shark fin or https://www.amazon.com/Anti-Turtle-Anti-Collision-Material-Four-Point-Quadcopter/dp/B07RXYYYJY/ref=sr_1_21?dchild=1&keywords=drone+shark+fin&qid=1607052468&sr=8-21

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..

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..
