I got impatient with this build and assembled the frame before all the parts came in. Don't do that... you have to take apart the arms to put motors on which adds so much unnecessary work.

Frame has a ton of room in it for electronics. Very comfortable wiring this up.

Dry fit eletronics looked good so started doing some wiring. Only issue is longer runs for some components so I had to splice some wires together. Also, due to arms needing to be sandwiched between top and bottom plate, I thought it would be easier to wait to solder those wires up until rest of eletronics were set.

Got a little impatient and finished the build... Can't wait to fly it.

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 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..
