This took a few weeks to build. It started with a gifted Diatone stack. I got ahead of myself during the build and ended up frying the esc.. many clouds of instant smoke. I bought a new esc with a bit more power and after hooking everything up I thought my fc was also fried. I got a replacement FC, but had the same issues...no leds and the sixty9 would bind but not connect to the fc.
After many days troubleshooting, it turned out I had crushed some pins in the harness of the Sixty9 and messed up both outputs 1 and 2 on the board itself. Fortunately there are extra outputs I remapped. I ended up tearing off the harness and direct soldering.
The led issue was just user error. I somehow used two burnt out leds strips.. the third attempty worked. I ended up using saddleLights. They easy to wire and super bright.
I decided on toilet tank so i can have an easy spot for gps. The stock battery straps fit on a 3s battery, but not a 4s 650 in that orientation. I had to get a longer strap from pyroDrone.
I've only flown over my house and compared to my whoops and micros this thing is Mothra. I definetly need to go somewhere with space. I barely touch the throttle on 4s and im giggly.
I went out to a business park early this am. This is my new favorite in big spaces. It feels light and powerful and locked. 17% throttle to hover.
I camed down out of a powerloop and lost video and crashed into the asphalt street. I bent a bell housing, cracked my antenna casing, and sheared off one of the screw heads. I replaced the arm screws with titanium, and I ordered a new motor. Im gonna using heat shrink for the antenna for the time being. The guts appear to be fine :)

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..
