1204's, a caddx ant and a mini immortal T to shave some weight. The rush tiny tank holds the crossfire nano in a perfect spot under the hole in the top plate allowing the soldered pins to have room. I front mounted the power cable this time. 3 bolts per motor to shed a little weight.
the rx antenna holder is diy from zipties. I kept the vtx sled pointing forward to allow it to fit under the slanted top plate. I refrained from additional leds to keep things light and replaced the double barrel buzzer with a singe unit pointing out the bottom plate hole.
2s 450 ~4+m
3s was causing fly aways. I reflashed the outdated firmware... didnt work... I updated the escs to the latest version and that was it. I flew a tiny bit in the backyard, but after i tore up the gazebo and some plants Im gonna have to wait to go to a bigger location.

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..

Wow man, premium components packed in there supa tight!!
How is your video? I have seen quite a few builds with the crossfire nano squished up against the FC/vTx that have rough video issues. Usually lines/bands.
Even thought the rx is not pressed up against anything, i do get white lines. Maybe thats just an effect of using the sled and having the rx above the vtx?
I had this reversed (rx under vtx, on another build) i do not recall any issues with my video signal but the extra length needed for the bolts mad it a very heavy solution..
after i crash next, ill try moving the rx behind the camera and see if my lines are cleaned up
That may also cause a problem, crossfire nano rx's are notoriously noisy next to cameras. I would try it, I don't think it's bad with every camera... just don't give up if you have new, different lines with it close to the cam.
Happy flying, I really enjoy watching your builds/skills evolve :)
