Macho 2" - 1s toothpick using Quad66's Skyryder frame with a Matrix 5-in-1 flight controller. I'm getting about 4 minutes of flight time on a Lava 450mah LiHv battery. I used Reny screws for the canopy and motor mounts except one metal screw on each motor for safety. I've tried the Gemfan 2008 and 2015 biblade props now, and prefer the extra lift on the 2015 props. This frame feels solid for how light it is, although I think the light build and small motors help out. I removed the motor connectors on the Matrix FC and direct soldered the motor wires. The FC is mounted upside down for access to the usb connector, which makes for challenging antenna routing.
Quick build and fun quad.

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!
