Glide Build for a customer. This must have been cursed since I first built it back to front, then the Uf.l snapped off the nano rx... but we got there!

Glide (std): It's really nice, easy to build in, good chamfers etc... apart from the press nut holes are too small and are painful to use. FPVCycle needs to change carbon cutter/cutting files because this is a common issue of theirs and just takes away from their brilliant 5 inch frames. Fantastic nonetheless!

Pacer V2 1950kv: Powerful, good hardware, nice design, unibell is well made, really light... just straight up great motors that I would rather use than xings atm. Better for light stuff (Still like the aeolus HGLRC line for heavy stuff) but amazing.

Zeez 2020 stack v1 (link incorrect): This is nice to build on, would recommend etc. It costs what it's worth, so it's pretty good to say the least. Well laid out and I like the philosophy.

Unify V3: Everyone knows it's great, I like it, It's inexpensive from team-blacksheep.com, and really will get you 10km or more in good conditions with a triumph pro antenna. Great little VTX.

Ratel V2: It's just really nice - no complaints as with everyone so far (I believe) really nice picture and I would recommend to almost anyone. It's pretty well made too with the black plastic cover instead of tape on the PCB!

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..
