Another great frame design by fellow rotorbuilds member Thomas Parker. Quick and easy print that is only 60mm motor to motor. You can see in the image below that it is even smaller than Tiny Kwad. Awesome flying little indoor frame.

EDIT- 1-31-22 A couple minor tweaks to the Bitsy frame. Inner hole diameter of the FC mounts has been reduced to allow the use of standard Whoop canopy mounting screws rather than m2 hardware and standoffs. FC mounts have been modified to be a couple mm taller than the frame for easy rubber band installation and ease of assembly.

Thanks Thomas! If performs even better now and the completed build is several grams lighter.

Any firmware changes or settings changes are done using an ST-Link. I really like the stock firmware on the FC's linked in the build parts list so I have never made any changes to these particular flight controllers. I just plug everything in, bind to the RX and fly. Flight modes, rates, and what not can all be changed via transmitter stick gestures. Here is a great source of information for Silverware firmware https://github.com/NotFastEnuf/NFE_Silverware

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
