Current specs on this mid/long range rig below. I'm using different props and a different antenna than the pictures.

Hey Noah, First I gotta say I love the build. Ive been looking at this frame for a while now and am going to build one pretty soon. Your setup is almost identical to what I want and have laid out. I saw you already answered a comment about flight time, now that its been a while since you built it, How long have you been able to stretch out the battery time wise?

Heyho,
I have the same motors and planned to use with 7/42/3 Gemfan on 5S.
How do you like them? reliable? Are they providing enough torque?
I'm thinking hard on replacing to Brotherhobby LPD 2806.5 1700KV (same specs, but ~8g lighter / motor)
Cheerz,

Hi NoahLikeTheArk
I'm about to build my long range with the same engines, could you share flight time does your drone have? or how far have you gone?
And finally, what prop do you recommend for long range?
Thank you

Yesterday I pulled 980 mah out of a 5S 2200 mah battery in 4:45 after flying 3.15 miles at 40-50 mph. I could have pulled up to 1500 mah out of that pack and been at storage voltage, but I landed early. This was with the DAL 7056C.

Nice build! How do you find the DAL 7056 props? Having some issues with the HQ 7x4x3 atm...

I found the DAL props to be much better than the HQ 7x4.5x2 props I haven't tried the 7x4x3 but the DAL have significantly less vibration in blackbox logs than the bi-blades.

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..
