First build back for my 2021 fpv season.
CMW released a new 3 inch frame last year for the dji system, it was under 40g and seemed strong so I had to build one.
Designed and printed a 3d printed mount for the ghost qt antenna and vista antenna. Made the build very clean for me. I'm probably gonna swap out the vista antenna for a shorter one and save a few grams.
The 1404 3700kv motors are the perfect combination on 4s. They definitely have enough punch, have good flight times and I don't lose any throttle resolution.
209g AUW, 134g dry
Fits the nebula camera with a couple washers
With aggressive acro flight I'm, getting at least 3 minutes of flight. I also only fly until storage voltage.

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 a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
