V8 armaGdn upgraded to Sharkbyte. Decided to try an sma connection this time. (hefty weight increase). I filed down the connector so it would fit inside the tadpole rear stands. The crossfire antenna is held on by a single ziptied bowtied through the rear stands.
I toredown and rebuilt, but could resuscitate the buzzer pad. Crossfire is wedged inbetween the rear posts and the fc rear bolt.. no need for tape or zip ties.
I am using zip ties for some (weak) protection for the camera.
its been raining so i have yet to fly outdoors. indoors on 2s is super tame (underpowered)... outdoors its gonna be 3-4s fun :)

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..

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..
