My first build ever was a box frame. And I trashed it before I'm half competent at flying.
With old motors, old esc, old vista, old receiver, and a replacement of a DOA flight controller from the past year. Here I am revisiting the box frame, this time in digital. What's really cool about this pyrodrone iteration is the versatile mounting options. I can easily use a 30x30 esc and a 20x20 fc without an adapter. The carbon cuts tolerance is on point, not like the TBS Source V which requires filing on many joints. The stock 20mm standoffs are a little too short for a fc on top of a vista unit, so I used some 25mm standoffs here.
I found the squirt gopro mount works on this frame after filing one of the tpu screw holes slightly larger, I could drop a hero 7 on it someday when my freetyle rigs are under maintenance.
And it is heavy.

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..
