If you saw my last build, the minimalist 112, I took the components from that and put it on my frame from armattan productions (BareBones130), a 130mm 3mm at 17.6g which fits 3.5" props dual or triblade.
can easily swap the build across different frames with 20x20 stack just undo the 4 stack bolts and the 8 motors screws and swap, only takes 5 minutes.
Auw at 205g with xf power 850 4s/ 220g with infinity 850 4s
Dry weight at 121g
Great job! I was waiting for this as i think i will make an almost identical build, this barebones 130 wins over the minimalist 128 and 112? 3.5" is worth it?
Uhg those props always explode at the hub. Have you tried the ones from RTFQ?
In flight or when crashing? I've only broke a couple from crashing into a tree so far but I'm not too concerned as they're so cheap, I haven't tried them from rtfq/militibros as I know the 30 pitch is way to shallow and will be far too slow for my liking, I like the design though wish it could be a 40-45 pitch
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..

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..

Do you find those batteries consistently light? I've read that some people have them coming in over 100g. now im nervously waiting for mine to show up lol
the xf power or the infinity?
sorry! the xf.
thats weird, mine only weigh 82g with xt30, which is light for an 850 4s, most other batts this size weigh 100-110g, maybe they have changed the cells? who knows haha
Just a heads up. Airblade has some nice light batteries too. 77gram 700mah 4s 75c/150c with lots of punch. I believe their 850mah weigh 92 grams and their 1000mah weighs 112grams. All of those options are high c 4s and have a consistant weight. I've heard xf power batteries are light, but that they have lower specs than their labels claim. the mah on the xf cells tends to be MUCH lower than the rating and also they tend to lack punch. Airblade batteries are the lightest I could find that didnt sacrifice performance. These batteries are made for airblade by bonka and tattu, depending on the battery you choose. So they have a more consistant weight anf are of very high quality.
