Reused some parts from my first drone for my second one. This build might already be outdated by the time I post it but I've really been enjoying how it flies.
The new stack combined with the higher KV motors mean that this drone can run on 4s or 6s as long as you program it to detect the differences and lower the kv to each motor when a 6s battery is plugged in.
The original frame cannot be found anymore, but it's the TBS Source One V0.2. The V3 is still really close in all characteristics, but they are up to V5 now!
The original motors were RaceDayQuads version of the Brotherhobby 2205 2450kv motors, good luck finding those ANYWHERE though.

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..
Read moreWith 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!

Nice build. And +1 for the xLite. I moved away from it since the t2pro came out. Missing the xlite still today.
Thanks! Working on 3D Printed Solutions to be able to mount it to a lanyard, some pretty good options are out there!
If you do not use the module bay there are spare caps for sale with a piece on it to attach the lanyard.
I used this one back in the day.
