  • The ToothFairy 2 3.5" is designed for an AIO FC/ESC and CADDX Vista, but it is possible to use a regular 20x20mm stack and Walksnail
  • The "slammed deck " (15mm) design improves flight performance, but limits available space for components, I had to tinker new mounts for antenna, cap and beeber
  • About 290 grams AUW with a CNHL Ministar 4s 650mah (I don't care about sub250 anymore, because regulations changed in Germany recently)
  • The flight time is about 3-4 minutes with a CNHL Ministar 4s 650mah
  • T-Motor P1604 (3800kv) - a dream of a brushless motor for a 3.5 inch prop!
  • Props: GemFan 3520 is the way to go here!
  • Betaflight 4.4 + Chris Rossers AOS 3.5 PID/Filter Preset + bi-directional dshot + D min/max and Feed Forward disabled
  • No props in view, no visible jello with the GemFan 3520
  • I switched to Walksnail Avatar, had some trouble with frame-drops/freezes, but solved it with a bigger cap (1.000µF, 35V) and disabling VTX onboard-recording
  • In the 3.5" category, I wouldn't recommend the ToothFairy 2 for a daily flyer, the AOS 3.5 is easier to source and more comfortable to build and maintain
  • The RunCam Thumb Pro V2 is an acceptable solution for HD-ish footage in a small, lightweight and affordable package
  • GyroFlow produces, with a bit of tinkering, halfway good results with 4K@30fps_xview (widest, possible FOV), other resolutions caused too much zooming

Jun 21, 2021

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition
Mar 04, 2021

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..
