First HD build and wanted to produce something that could be used in a variety of scenarios including free style, high speed gaps, pleasure cruising and mid-range adventures; basically a jackknife. Ultimately settled on the light but strong CM Banggod lite frame powered by T-Motor Pacer V2's which were selected for smooth response coupled with reasonably high efficiency. In terms of the receiver, I went with the IRC Atto Duo to maximize range and minimize likelihood of failsafes. Antenna upgraded to the Maple 'Long' antenna with similar intention of maximizing range / reception.
Weight came in at 355g.

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!
