My favourite build for some time, and one I'm finally posting after moving from a Tracer RX to the new Matek ExpressLRS R24D receiver. This is now perfect and I'll keep it this way for a while.
I started experimenting with larger toothpick frames a long time ago, and I've flown this since the frame was released. The 1505 motors are, in my opinion, a perfect match for a light 4" build.

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..

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..
