Finally found a great formula for a 3S Kayoumini freestyle build after several attempts (including 2 burned boards). The 2S fly great, but I found they lacked a bit in weight and power. This version flies buttery smooth and has ample power, you can probably use it for spang. Limit motors to 80% to make it more controllable and enjoyable. At full power, it can be a tad jumpy! Use 12mm standoffs.

Full up weight less than 115g, great balance of weight and power.

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..
