I took apart two of my old 3.5 inch drones in order to build this.
I believe the motors are what makes this fly really nice. The frame is also good of course, but having tried 1404 , 1504 and 1504.5 motors on different 3.5 inch frames, these 16mm motors feel very different. Much less 'floaty', enough power and more of a 'big quad' feel.

This frame usually takes a full vista in the back as a structural element. I put in a naked vista, however using nylon standoffs, it feels solid enough and should be fairly protected. The UFL connector is the most fragile part and I think its sorted out quite well with the antenna mount and a ziptie at the connector/standoff.

dry weight is 165g
AUW with 4s 650 mah pack is 245g

thanks! I think they have great control for 3.5 inch. Much better then the 1404 and even 1504 I have tried on previous builds

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class!

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..
