This is my first build i uploaded here. On my first flight i got about 6 min flight time. All parts are linked below. If you have any tips or questions just leave a comment.
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..

building my own right now. what's your AUW (all-up weight, including battery)? interesting motor choice, btw. flight time aside, how does it fly? how much throttle does it take to hover? 1500kv is pretty cold-blooded. for comparison, my freestyle quads use 1850kv motors on 6s to swing a 5" prop, lifting 700g+. i'm using 1604 2850kv motors on 6s, so they'll spin almost twice as fast using the same current.
The drone itself weighs 230 grams and the battery another 87. Just take a look at the new photos. i would make a video of the behaviour at the weekend where you can see my stick inputs. i think it flies very well and with the 1500 kv motors it is a compromise with the flight time.
