She is currently living 40' up at the top of the tree in front of my house :( :( :(

The FC took a dump after a crash and had to order a new one. This new version comes with a plug for the camera, but the pins are not in alignment with the runcam nano 2 :(
I had to swap the ground and video wires in the plug.
I added an xm+ for more penetration around my property and a RHCP antenna for increased reception. In small spaces this is my favorite quad atm. In large open fields though.... 1s is not very exciting.
I have since burnt out another betafpv motor, so I am currently running two 0802 16000kv and two 0703 19000kv motors.
3-4 min of acro and dive bombs

How did you mount the motors?
Did you use only 2 screws?
I can't get mine to fit on that frame using 3 screws

3 screws for the 0802 / 0703.... 2 screws for 1103 :)

I bought 1102's out of frustration, those fit with 3 screws
it is the 100SE frame?

they should.. i dont have 1102's yet, but they are supposed to be the same layout as 08/07...
Try screwing in all three bolts very lightlty so all the threads catch can catch( this will give you more room for alignment, then tighten them down.
you can always use a file to get some more space as a last resort :)

Hi, nice micro quad :)
You have two pairs of motors with different kV.
If you changed motors with a different kV, do you have problems with smooth flight?
Did you have to configure something additionally?

I adjust my throttle curves on my radio each time I change the motor kv configuration. I don't do anything beyond that.

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..
