AirBlade Transformer Mini 4 inch Long Range
By stevea3342 on Jan 09, 2021
AirBlade Transformer Mini 4 inch Long Range. The BetaFPV wires aren't long enough so I'd pick another brand next time.
Naked vista to save weight. I originally wanted to get one of the many pnp 4" LR quads currently available but they either came with a lousy Nebula camera or they had an F4 that wouldn't have enough uarts to properly support DJI + GPS.
First flight of about 10 minutes averaged 45mah per minute using the 1100 4s in the parts list. Battery is 92g, auw is 228g.

On the built-in 4in1 ESC I installed the JFlight RPM Filter software. https://jflight.net/index.php?route=common/home&language=en-gb

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..

I was able to get 20 minutes taking it very slow with 1100 4s and flying to 3.3v. Next I flew 15 minutes to 3.6v at a more normal cruising speed but not ripping around.
