Had the itch to do another 'just for fun' build & wanted the wood a e s t h e t i c again. Believe it or not, the solid wood arms are only 11% heavier than the hollow aluminium from the previous incarnation.
New frame design is shorter but wider (easily fits 4x 21700 cells across now) & uses two identical base plates rather than a stripped down 'brace' on the bottom. Same motor mounts.
Initial plan is to go with ArduCopter, maybe see how Ardu handles acro these days.

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..
