This was my first build. Started off based on the UAVfutures $99 build, then modified to match the Whiffles Eachine Wizard Killer.
Spent way too long sleeving the motor wires...do not recommend, though then did come out pretty nice.

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..
