5inch drone, with ligthweight, triangulated tubular frame with internal motor cable routing (32g bare frame + 6g aero canopy).
250g dry weight, 435g with 1050mah 130C 6s battery.
Flies really great, rock steady and solid on Supafly 5inch 6s preset.
Analysis of flight logs show perfect setpoint tracking, virtually no bad propwash behaviour and no vibration problems.
Because of the light weight and good aerodynamics, flight times are phenomenal for given power class (2207 motors with ~1.6kg max thrust per motor), easily achieving 10-12min on 1050mah 6s battery in optimal conditions (not too cold, relaxed cruising).

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..

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
