Quarantine needs to end soon or you will see my kidneys for sale to fund this addiction..

So im back at it again with another project...youtubes random algorithms have me watching cat videos and unboxing of $15K mystery boxes bought from sketchy overseas sellers on ebay..but in between my youtube binging I came across an old review by UAV futures of a CMW Bangod 5" frame, thought it was an interesting design.

Dear lord this frame is beefier than mandingo on Viagra... build space is also very tight using an analog vtx setup..
My advice is to make shapes out of thick foamboard or 3d print models of your favorite flight controllers to use as templates to layout quads components. Theres nothing more frustating than ordering parts only to find out they cant be used because the stacks too tall or the gi-normous 1000uf capacitor is like a post high school body ex-girlfriend sitting middle seat on a american airlines flight....
Im using a mamba F405 50A Fc/esc stack as they work excellent, priced cheap, and they have plenty of spare pads & UARTS
Awaiting more awesome 2306 1600kv motors from Mad components to replace the emax ecos used in this mock up.
Frsky R9mm Ota rx as they provide miles of range with a RMLP module set at 1W.
Caddx Ratel Micro
and my usual akk Race ranger VTX at 1000Mw.

also anyone with spare tyro 129 parts the tpu VTX Sma
is a great solution to mount a foxeer lollipop.. it is about 1mm short but you can stretch it with a heat gun.

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..
