A tomo frame with a cut-up beta 75 frame for prop guards... and a sharpie.
This is made from some resuscitated parts. The more builds I do, the more I learn how to troubleshoot :) The vtx i thought was trash but after troubleshooting I cleaned it up, added a capacitor and its functional again. I depinned the FC and direct soldered the motors.. not much space but enough. I am using a vtx toothpick adapter, but only as a shelf to hold the vtx. The rx is between the shelf and the fc. Everything has breathing room on this one.
I drilled out one of the props too much so that one has to be t bolted in. The other three are press fit. The tops are chewed up from running them in a pusher config and removing them with a prop tool.
getting less than 2 min on 2s mostly cruising.
I tried a 3s but with this tiny strap I was not inclined to whip it around. Got around the same flight time.
Im thinking there might be an issue with a motor.

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..
Read moreWith 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..

I love the cut up prop guards! I have a set 65mm somewhere but the hard part was finding those weird ass motor screws the right length to work with carbon and plastic.
i used a spare set from that came with the motor's....
it's the same length as the screws that hold Gemfan props on :)
Mine were 3 hole, something odd like m1.5 pitch.
