Ultralight 6 inch. Wanted xt60, so had to modify raceday 4s 850mah battery to stay under 250 grams. Cruising I get 15min on the 850mah, down to 3.7v. With 304g 5000mah 21700 pack AUW is 484 grams.
Update: squashed it down to 20mm standoffs, added rush fpv microphone. Strongly considering 1800kv motors for 6s...

want to build one :) do you think 182g dry is acievable with FPVCycle 2104 and nebula pro nano / naked vista?
Sounds great, thank you for the feedback. I would probably go for xt30 I don't think I would need xt60 (will do my maths though...) I would use small batteries with small strap for light cruising/freestyle. Did you have a hard time tuning the build? vibration-wise is it okay? Thank you for your valuable feedback :)
by the way, are you in Canada? Because you seem to be waiting for the weather to get warmer and... it's definitely cold here in Montréal :)
Small elrs receiver with ceramic antenna can help save a couple grams also less than crossfire once you factor in antenna mounting. Have not done any tuning really, stock 4.3 rc 3 with crossfire freestyle presets. I've got some wobbles still with wind or big battery propwash. Too cold to get long flights in Wisconsin right now, still another month of building season.
Guides & Reviews
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 was planning to build a ultralight 5" for freestyle with the Emax Eco II 2004 instead, aiming to be able to run on 4 or 6s, do you recommend changing to your suggested motor? I'm particularly a beginner to intermediate pilot, thanks in advance (and also for supplying my mind with so much builds below 250g)
Unless you have all the other parts and know the exact weight and have a really specific thrust goal then no, not worth $5 more per motor. Dont have any eco 2004s but the reviews seem good. My Eco 2207s are smooth and eco 1404s have been relaible.
I see, thanks for your opinion :)
