A lean mean ORANGE machine! Charlie Brown best protect ya neck!
Betaflight F3 Flight Controller: Designed from the ground up to rock all the features Betaflight has to offer. In addition the built-in PDB reduces overall stack height.
Garuda 200 Frame: Falcon Multirotors has a dead sexy winner on their hands with this lil gem. A simple, clean and durable frame. I gave the TPU a touch of orange which multiplied the strength factor by a value of 20.
TBS Bulletproof 25A BLHeli-S ESCs: Solid ESCs from the company we all love/hate. Caps have been removed so they can push the DSHOT600 protocol.. because FASTER! See this link for details.
Armattan OOmph Motors: The new hype from a company with a solid reputation. These motors performed amazingly well on QuadMcFly's tests, ranking as one of the current top performing 2206 motors with improved efficiency over other contenders. I was also interested to try the prop securing system which replaces the standard lock nut with a screw based system.
Garuda TPU canopy was dyed using RIT fabric dye. I used a custom mix of yellow and pink. The mixture was brought to temperature and left to boil 30-40 minutes. I then pulled it from the heat and left the TPU canopy to sit in the concoction overnight.

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.
