I wanted this quad to be lightweight, and also not expensive. It's not necessarily built for long range, but for flying for fun. No buzzer, GPS, Crossfire, or GoPro mount. Weight with no battery: 191gm. Flight time with 1500mAh 4S lipo (auw 374gm): 19m30s.
Note that the arms that come with the frame are cut wrong and have excess slop. There is a big gap between the arms I needed to shim to get the arms tight.

I have the same frame but not cut by Rekon/HGLRC and didn't have any slop in my arms. Sounds like a cutting error, I would have that warrantied.
did u do a custom motor mixer
would the camera mount be big enough for a runcam hybrid?
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 was wanting to know where did you get your parts printed at unfortunately I don't have a 3D printer? and there was one other thing I needed to know is there's a mounting plate that I want to get made for a HGLRC F4 V5PRO All in One Flight Controller with OSD and Switchable VTX which would have to go from 30.5x30.5 to 20x20 to fit this build that I want to do with the Rekon 5".
I have a 3D printer, so I print my own parts. What was the second question?
I want to get made for a HGLRC F4 V5PRO All in One Flight Controller with OSD and Switchable VTX which would have to go from 30.5x30.5 to 20x20 to fit this build that I want to do with the Rekon 5". I'll upload pics later.
