I wanted to build a 5" toothpick that would come in at under 250g even though the law has changed now. I did a lot of looking at different builds and ideas for this frame before i settled on these parts, it flies really well and i'm getting about 7 mins flight times. very happy with this.

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..
