so a few months ago when this model was due for release, BetaFPV was gracious enough to give away a couple of the bare frame kits. Around the same time, I actually won an Avatar HD v2 kit from Walksnail also. Thats how this story began....
I knew i wanted to keep this build as light as possible with using the Walksnail V2 kit on such a small platform! I ended up robbing my 5" Merica build of the HappyModel EP2 ELRS receiver to be able to keep it light and compact! No unneccessary antennas! (sidenote: Stupid me wired the rx and tx backwards to the flight controller and had to tear the full build apart to swap them!)
I setnout with intentions of this being a cruiser and filming rig, which is my main reason for choosing the Walksnail system. I feel the V2 kit gives quality picture for some recording purposes, but i am also planning to fly the CaddX Peanut on this as well if it performs like i hope!

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..
