Fractal 75

My frame kit finally arrived. I did a custom Infinity Loops inspired paint job and I love how this thing flies.

It's not the FC I would have preferred but it does the trick for now.

UPDATE!

I rebuilt the F75 to sort out a few issues.

Firstly, I was getting annoyed with the short range I was getting on the built in RX so I soldered a flat BetaFPV ELRS module I had lying around. I decided on the flat antenna for fear of breaking the tower on the EP2.

Secondly, I replaced the Nano 3 with an ant lite. The Nano3 had a micro crack in the lens that produced ridiculous lens flairs when the light hits it at a certain angle, drove me crazy. The Ant lite was all I could get locally.

Lastly, I re-wired the motors after hooking and snapping a wire on a small tree. Got a little creative. I also added a cable tie to keep the antenna upright and help with turtling.

This little quad quickly became my daily flyer and definitely my new preferred frame over the Mob7 v3.

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..
