QX90 2016 Vintage Rebuild
This thing has been many things since it was initially bought as a BnF. It's been on 3d printed frames, a mini wing, and even a hovercraft. I felt it needed to go back to its orginal confiuration now that my son has started his FPV jorney, and give him a few more options and knowlage of what flying used to be like when I first started.
I found almost all the original parts to rebuild it as it was, but updated the receiver to ELRS and flashed the last 4.06 betaflight firmware being this is an F3 chip. The FC on this thing is very cappable with having 3 open UARTs and 6 places to solder a motor to. I did consider making this into a hex style quad, but then I ended up finding the smaller newer version of this board and will be making that later.
Considering its age and tech, it flies extremely well and is very smooth as long as you don't try any flips at low altitudes lol.

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..

Brushed is very good to learn ACRO fly but not enough for realy freestyle bcus less power of motors.
Anyway I like and using them this time even they are many years old! I have
