I built this little one a couple of weeks ago but only managed to fly it in the last couple of days. For sure those toothpicks are really fun to fly - the perfect break/lunch pick up for a quick practice. Plenty of power so even thinking buying some 3s 650mAh batteries to get some longer flight time (I get around 3mn of energetic flying with the 450 mAh pictured). Really enjoyed the build challenge - feels minimalistic but still required a bit of planning on how to get it all to fit in such a tiny package. Should be fairly easy and cheap to maintain too.

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..
