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..

As this is my first quad racer I expected to break the arms a few times. Thus replacing a couple of sheered screws seemed a better idea than replacing a full frame. As a side note this frame is derived from an untested prototypes frame. You can see the original here:

Was thinking maybe a few additional parts sections could be: OSD, Antenna, and maybe LC Filter? Although LC Filter may be best as a misc part, because they are often included in PDB and OSD.
Some good suggestions. I'll see about getting those added.
