Oxylous 10.5" – Long-Range Wind Slayer Built for the North

After flying 7" and 8" long-range builds for years, I kept hitting a wall every time the wind kicked in. Gusts would throw my quads around like toys. I needed something that could punch through brutal alpine turbulence and stay locked-in no matter what Norway or the Alps threw at me.
Enter the Oxylous 10.5" — a Greek god of a frame. Aerodynamic as hell, no drag, no drama. When the 7-inch builds start getting slapped around, this beast just cuts through like it’s flying on a calm day. Built for the harsh north. Tested in the worst. Unshakable.

Check out the raw GoPro 8 footage with stabilization turned OFF:

If anyone’s looking to build a long-range rig like this, I’m sharing the full spec list along with the dry and takeoff weight. This info is useful because I’m also including a screenshot of my PID tune and filter settings for Betaflight 4.5 – dialed in and tested on this exact setup.

Hope it helps someone out there building something similar!

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..
