Hello and welcome. This is my build of the Five33 Tiny Trainer. In this build I am using the FPV crate package.

1. I started this build by laying out the components and organizing them.

2. I took the carbon fiber frame and screwed in the four motors.

3. Once I had the motors screwed in I took the battery holder and screwed it in. using these same screws I put the flight controler on.
Notes: Make sure to use the correct screws or your motors may not work properly.

4. After I put the flight controler on, it was time to solder the motors on.
Notes: After soldering the motors wires to the flight controller you can check if you have a crosswire by manually spinning the motor with the flick of your finger. If the motor spins nicely for a short time you have not crosswired them, but if it does not spin smoothly than you have crosswired at least one wire.

5. Next I soldered the reciver onto the flight controler
Notes: The wires are soldered right next to where the camera will be mounted, this being said, be carfull to solder them really good so they don't come off because of the camera placement.

6. I then soldered on the Buzzer (This is not included in the crate) and the VTX onto the Flight controler
Notes: I accidentally soldered the VTX wires to the wrong pads on the flight controller which caused it to overheat itself when I later smoke checked the build. I unpluged the battery before this was a big problem and rewired the VTX, fixing the problem.

7. I finished the soldering by attching the camera.

8. Once I had all of the components soldered on I smoke tested the quad.
Notes: The quad worked the first time but later I had wire problems and had to re-soldered a wire on the reciever and re-organize the wires on the VTX.

9. After the smoke test I started programing the quad using a program called Betaflight.
Notes: While testing the motors I found some problems with the motors. One inparticular has been studdering, I am still working on fixing this issue.
I am waiting to do more programing until I have fixed the motor problem.

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..
