Flywoo LR4 meets Ran4 TEOSAW Frame to 5 Inch conversion
I built a 5 inch copter from a Flywoo LR4 Explorer frame and a Chinese copy (Ran4). The arms are from the LR4 and the body from the Ran4. The frame is a good deal lighter than the original LR4, which saves weight.
I also used lateral carbon motor supports to support the new 131mm wheel base. Now up to 5 inch propellers can be used, which increases efficiency.
The result: It is much smoother and quieter in the air than my other original LR4. I am currently testing 4.5 inch 4524 propellers.
All in all a light 4-5 inch copter with 1404 3000KV motors should have potential to reach its 5-7km distance and 15km range - of course with smooth flying ;). I am curious if I can beat the performance of my LR4 with 4S 18650 VTC6 : 20:05 min (at 2.8V) with a maximum distance of 5.0 km.
I will add 4S 18650 Liionen battery- and rangetest as well as components ;).
And here is my new addition: a G2 with conversion to 3x patch in LHCP and 1x stubby in LHCP - so NO more linear antenna. The fit is modest... I will test it -like Stitch ..
Now it's time for the birth of our son.

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..

I really like these models, they look great. Have you tried flying them anywhere? Stickman Hook
Yesterday I flew with 4 batteries (4s 18650). Due to the greater distance between the engines, it flies more stable and much quieter in windy conditions. She is also very quiet. Because of the 3000kv it is no longer as agile as my other one with 3800kv. You have to fly with some foresight, so it's partially suitable for freestyle (then higher KV is better). But it was enough to escape a buzzard, which flew towards me with its claws outstretched.
