This is my frist build as I am realitively new to the hobby and in lue of these regulations a laws related to remote Id and FAA filings. So last year I decided build a 5-inch and pratice for the upcoming races this summer.

I am not aware of the exact weight of parts altogether but i would say that it is on the heavier side for this frame. With stock betaflight tuning I think that it handles pretty well and with my very self developed sense of how a quad should fly and feel, I would say that it is pretty darn good.

I really want to learn PID tuning and get into making my quad fly better akin to how I want it to preform once I get better at flying

I've gotten around 2 hours of flight on it before winter hit here when I finshed my quad in early september, I averaged about 4:30 when ripping around back yard on 1300 4s but on a 2200 3s crusing I can get around 6 ish. I don't think the nieghbors like me too much though but if any one is out I normally wont fly.

Nice. As you improve you can run those motors on 6s limited to 3000kv in betaflight. Ballistic.

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..
