First few pictures are the parts and their weight.
I started by rounding off the edges of the frame, really wish mfg did that from factory, would gladly pay a couple extra bucks for it. I also apply a thin coat of CA all around the edges to help with delamination from impact.
I modified the XSR to have a 1/4 wave length just like the D4Rs and then removed the connector and soldered it directly on the KISS AIO and double taped it under the FC.
The frame assembly was pretty straight forward, very simple stack with these components
The next part was very tedious as the motor wires were too short and I had to prep and solder extra lengths, #paininthebutt. I also added a picture after redoing my FC soft mounting using longer screws.
I mounted my xsr antennas using a mix of vertical post and arm mounting, should work fine.
The FPV pod is super clean and it's the only couple wires of the build so I just need to plug it into the KISS AIO for power and vtx control over serial.
The the final weight in at 237.5g and 350.5g with a 900mAh 4S

Had some amazing flights this week end. As expected it is a racing beast but what got me the most was how good it felt freestyling. Motors are super good, never once got warm and held up to sime decent head on tree crashes!! 100% my fav racing setup and it would be godly for freestyle if it could carry a session and keep that slim weight
How are those motors?
How is the linear whip antenna? I have one ready for my next build and hope it performs well enough for everyday flying!.
This is the exact setup i wanted to do!!!! I was also wondering about those motors...
There are also the piroflip motors: http://pirofliprc.com/HyperLite-V2-Team-Edition-2205-2522_p_3845.html
About the same weight, they look like the ticket as well ;)

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..

I currently have the Kiss CC in my Xhover and looking into adding Hyperlite 2204 Floss Series 2522KV.. do you think it can handle these motors? If I'm correct the total weight with props will be less than 200g. I'm currently sitting at 211g with brother hobby R2 motors.
