This is my attempt/take on an HD version of the V2 Merica frame by Catalyst Machine Works. It really is an awesome frame , and i have been building a lot of freestyle rigs lately. So, i thought i would give an HD Race rig a go. I have a few different flight controller's that I still may switch out for the one i have in the build now.(new Tmotor F7) but , this thing runs so smooth on stock Betaflight, that it kind of blew my minda little bit.
Note: I pretty much at this point fully reccomend soldering your vista directly to your flight controller as opposed to using the included connectors, the solder joints hold up better , and i feel it is a better connection/way of doing it. Also , it is mandatory if not using a stack to re pin your flight controller, and ESC connection , I would even say it is better to direct solder that too.
This thing....will blow you away. the amount of speed it has , is simply crazy. Power to weight is astonishing. I beat a lot of analogue times with this quad, maybe its because this build is so good, maybe its because i can see better. Cheers!
If you havent put HD in one of your favorite racing frames yet, it adds a bit of weight (you could decase the vista. but, its worth it!!!!
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..
