This was another frame swap build using a cheap Amazon frame. My T-Motor Stark frame was just too particular on props that fit. It also seemed to have a weak spot on the arms that would break pretty easily. I decided to retire that frame and repurpose most of the components into this one.
I also got my first 3d printer before the holidays and have been playing around with it. This build used some fun copper colored PLA for the skids. The photos dont do the color justice. They look nice in person and reflect the light well. They will probably explode on the first hard landing but I can make more now.
I also used a GoPro print from my Nazgul. It fits perfectly and looks like it was made for this frame.
I see some blue sky poking out behind the clouds, so maybe I can maiden this later today.

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..
