I wanted to get more flight time from my 1s batteries. My wife loves it because its pretty much silent outside of 3-4 meters. The set of 0802 motors I was going to use has wires that are just too short. These 0702's barely reach this fc's plugs. Side mounted pins would be more forgiving.
tinyhawk ii led stuffed in there for good measure

My batteries are pretty old and worn, but i would say im getting maybe another 20-30% flght time.

All my other drones it takes a some throttle to get liftoff. Just a tiny bit of throttle on this and you are in the air.

I flew a toothpick for the first time yesterday, and it was great!

Great looking little Kwad! I have a couple of these frames on order for future 1S builds. Can't wait to try one out.

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..
