Babytooth V1 was really fun... Untill I killed a motor (my fault the screws were too long). Time for v2!
Notes: Hglrc 1202.5 is actually made by rcinpower thats why I have them together.
3018-2 vs 3016-3: 3018 has higher top speed and more efficiency. 3016 has more control and feels more responsive/ "juicier". 3016 is also a touch quieter.
I cut off the back tab for mounting to fit the usb port. If you do this make sure to either wear a good mask or get the carbon wet. Carbon dust and lungs don't mix well.
It still needs a bit of tuning, as I am getting these weird vibrations. I just have Kabab's 4.2 tune on it though it is running 4.3 (elrs spi rx). 36grams dey weight with biblades, 37g wih triblades.

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! 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..

Hey, nice build! Have something similar in mind. How is your betafpv board holding up? My biggest concern is the 5A rating. Also i don't like the compatability of the babytooth frame with the usb/ceramic antenna position. I really hope that we will see another fc with 7-12A and ceramic antenna.

I did kill one of the elrs spi rx of the 2 boards I had. Good news is there are pads to put in a ep2 or similar. 5amps seems to be fine, I push mine pretty hard and no problems. However, to kill 2 birds with one stone, betafpv makes a 1s 12a elrs aio. It wont be quite as light but it will be more durable.
