2017 Race Quad. I plan to build two of these. Initial maiden flight went very well :). Probably one of the tighest builds I've done to include everything (even LEDs and Buzzer), but I have the BF F3 to really help the size, and the FrSky XM+ receiver along with the TBS Unify Pro VTx and a stack mount for it that I've been happy with. I even have a little room to play with.
Dry weight is 335g, and with a 1.0Ah Turnigy Graphene 4S battery its only 480g.
Currently running Betaflight 3.1.6 on the FC, BLHeli_S 16.65 on the ESCs and DSHOT600 between them.

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..
