I always loved the way this Whoop looks, but in stock form it is too heavy to perform the way I wanted it to so I decided to change it up. I pulled all of the stock elecs which were a BetaFPV 12A F4 FC, external AO1 vTX, Caddx EOS2 camera, and an external RX. I went with a HappyModel CrazyBee 12A F4 Pro with integrated RX, and an AKK C1T camera.
The result was nearly a 10 gram weight reduction which drastically improved flight performance, and flight times went from around 2:30 on 450mah 3s to almost 3:30. I also ordered some NBD Azi tri blade props which I'm hoping will improve flight times a bit more.
All in all I am very happy with the end result, and the Kwad is a lot more fun to fly around my backyard than it was in its stock configuration.
Update Oct. 11- Azi props have arrived and I got them installed. Pics are updated. Will update with performance, and flight times as soon as I get a couple packs in.

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..
Read moreWith 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..

Nice conversion! very cool quad!
Thank you! I'm really happy with how it performs now. Not a 3s beast by any means, but a good balance for small backyards.
