It's winter, so perfect timing to test a naked Air Unit :)
It comes in at 174g, which is not bad considering the motors are bigger than the original.
So far this build has been pretty fun and it is flying great.
Possible improvements:
1) Flight time could be better with 1404 instead of 1407 motors, but I still had a couple of the 1407s so I used those. So far I have hit 10:30min with 4S 850mAh, which is not bad.
2) I used a Betafpv F4 AIO, which only has two UARTS. I've mapped GPS on soft serial. So far it seems to work but if I'd choose again I would take something like a JHEMCU GHF405 with three full UARTS.
3) I changed the DJI cam lens to the runcam one with wider FOV. Unfortunately it is longer and the lens is barely covered by the metal cage. If you are ok with the stock cam, you will get more protection

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..

Hi! I like it! I'm about to do a similar one. o you think a full air unit can sit in the frame? What is so far your experience with Naked AirUnit?
I've seen one example on FB somewhere where somebody put in a full air unit in the front, and then a 20x20 stack in the back, so it works with a little creativity!
