This is my "Mobula 6.5" build. This is a Mobula 7 frame with Mobula 6/ Happymodel Crazybee F4 Lite FC and Runcam Nano 3 camera. I also soldered in a mini Flysky Receiver and tucked it under the canopy.

This is running Betaflight 4.2 and I updated the ESCs with latest licensed JESC firmware w/ 48 khz pwm and enabled RPM filtering in Betaflight. Made a big difference by increasing smoothness and added almost a minute of flight time. I consistently get about 3.5 minutes flight time flying pretty hard indoors! Highly recommend the updated firmware. This whoop is super fun to fly indoors and I also fly it outside when calm.

This started out as a repair for my old Blade Inductrix Brushless whoop that burned out an ESC. It turned into a full build by the time I was done as one of the Inducrtrix motors was also toast and then one thing led to another.

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..
