This will take your head off! Or, I should say, I CAN take your head off with this.

Way better looking build than I would have thought. Neverminding the horribad 3D prints - still trying to get the stringing to a minimum.

It is a little daunting flying this after flying 5" quads. But, I said the same about the 5" quads when I started flying them. They feel like tiny whoops now. I don't see how I can go back to flying such little crafts, this thing just feels right. The power...is intimidating. But once I get it tuned and my rates on it, she'll be purring like a kitten. A kitten that weighs 500+ pounds and pounces out of the forest.

Still in need of some things like landing gear. Need something to land on at least so I can save my batteries from abuse. Prop guards are on the list as well, though I may end up putting some racing strips down instead. But printing them is easy too...decisions.

Stay safe out there people. And keep on keeping on.

What is with these poker chips that keep on showing up for this build, as an image? I didn't pick that. In fact, I've deleted it now several times. It keeps popping up.

And HOW TF DO WE DELETE A BUILD? If I make a mockup and don't need it any longer, or I just don't want my build on here...how to delete?

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..
