Originally I was going to sell this, but it came out so clean! The Diatone 339 Frame and hardware looks sooo clean, high quality and strong. I got the Geprc 12a stable which came with their own Geprc 200mw Vtx, paid like $37 for the stable (clearance) . The Geprc Stable looks really high quality, comes in a nice cushioned box. Still testing this 12a board but damn Geprc, you fancy. The board even smells quality. I had to remove the motor connectors from the board in order to solder my wires neatly, just wiggled them off and bent them. Soldering was a bit hard since the pads are so close together. I had to solder the middle motor wire under the board. I might only run this on 2s maybe even 3s. Only using Gemfan 3018 bi-blades on this build and will only use turtle mode if I dont have any other option as I've seen similar boards that can't handle the abuse. Let's see how Geprc 12a holds up. Ill keep you updated down

Rocking a Canopy I bought from Taco.rc online. Really cool build. Hope it holds up. The quality on all the components seem really nice. I'm impressed by Geprc but can it handle the abuse!?!?

Btw I would've gone with Crossfire nano Rx if I knew I was going to keep it. Geprc board is weird with Rxsr.

I also used m2 x 25mm Steel screws and nuts. Got them from RDQ.

Update:

  1. Great on 2s. Awesome on 3s.
  2. The Vtx is Fantastic. I'm really surprised. At 100mw its beating my tbs pro 32unify (@100mw) and my Rush Tiny Tank (@200mw). Wtf. Good stuff Geprc. Will be purchasing more but still need to test durability.
  3. Flys great. I can feel the weight just a tiny bit compared to my kabab Tp3 (same motors @ 68gram auw) but its not a problem at all.
  4. Sold! Such a nice build...

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..
