Wanted to do a lightweight 3" build. Will probably be switching to some t1's sooner or later. Raptor tower is pretty nice. Those f20s are a nightmare to solder.. I cut the swift mini mounts down, and if I did this build again, would have just used a swift 2 as the mini's bracket does not fit the frame. Antenna is the stock one from my eachine wizard basher.

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! 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..

I'm good, I've already got a 1407 rig waiting to be built right now. :)
