say hi ! then say BYE ! . these photos are of a mock up 3inch long range rig i was working on , it looked just about the same when finished but i was never able to take photos after because i lost it on its maiden flight . if you look close nothing is wired its all just fit into place , shortly after i did wire it all up and take it for its first test run i got the worst interference ever in my life when flying quadcopters ( probably due to my inferior equipment flysky Fs-i6s transmitter & testing the new crosover rx for flysky for the first time , but im still willing to use them around the house on other small builds untill i upgrade to CROSSFIRE ) anyways . basically 1minute into my first flight after a few 85mph speed run chasing cars near a highway mid turn around it lost radio signal & it flew up into the sky 600 feet in altitude then hovered there & began to drift away & i could not take back control i could only watch the OSD video in my goggles as it went on an unmaned aerial mission ! after it got about 5,000 feet away i lost video due to a hill blocking the line of sight . im fairly certin the drone made it MILES away before the battery died because with a tattu 4s 1050mah LIHV i can fly for 15 minutes ! ( the link to the gps mount is incorret it was just to reflect the price the one in the photo is for bn-180gps that a friend sold me but i squeezed the matek inside it .

If you flew it like this, you probably chopped your receiver antenna(s) off mid flight

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..
