Emuwhoop85

My mad whoop that smells like old boots and goes like stink. Its built for outdoor fun so the extra weight doesn't bother me too much and I can enjoy the freedom of extended range and clear view without being bothered too much by wind.

Its loosely based on the Shutterbug85 recipe but built a little differently to suit my own preferences. The biggest differentiators being that this one uses an old-school 16x16 stack, heavier but better FPV kit, a long range receiver, prop screws and different props.

The frame actually accommodates the stack quite nicely. All you have to do is drill out the mounting holes for the 16x16 stack in the bottom of the frame's "electronics well" and then install the stack in the well upside down with care taken to cut out a notch from each hoop where the ESC sits just to get the build height down a bit.

Here is some flight footage.

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..
