4/10/21: i scaled the throttle down at 80% to slow it down for my yard. now it feels like 1s 1202.5/1302.x 11250kv but with a bit more speed, power and weight. and it feels good.

it's similar to happymodel Crux3, but with a bit more power.

43gram,
frame: 2mm thick is ok, but if you do fast flips and rolls a lot, or crash a lot, then 3mm is better.
2s 27gram - 31gram batteries ( 450mah - 650mah )

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..
