Before I built this Grasshopper 160, I built a Diatone Blade 150 and a Diatone ET 150 that both suffered the same fate -- broken arms within the first couple crashes. I really liked the way those quads handled, but needed something a bit more durable. The Grasshopper has a 3mm bottom plate, so I moved the parts from the broken ET 150 to the Grasshopper 160, and ended up with a really nice fun fyler. It gets almost 7 minutes of flight time on a 4S 850mAh and is tons of fun to fly through the trees and tight spaces.

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class!

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!

What battery is that it looks huge in comparison.
It's a Nano-tech 4S 850mAh. I've got 3S 350mAh and 3S 850mAh as well, and it flies great with those as well!
How long does it last with the 350mah?
I remember getting really long flights with this rig on the larger packs if I wasn't flying fast! 350mAh was probably good for 2-3 minutes, but I can't be sure.
