Simple build, modified frame. I wanted something faster than my 5 inch so I built this to see if it would be faster for chasing cars. I don't know if it has a higher top end, but it cruises faster and for a longer duration than my 5 inch. It actually freestyles pretty well too.
I glued some 4x4 twill weave scrap carbon to the underside of the arms. The original 5mm thick arms are now about 8.5mm thick. The glue I used is called Hysol. It's a Loctite product. I am going to change the frame to a Flywoo Mr. Croc 7 inch frame as soon as it gets here.

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..
