Introducing Falcon 185. Carbon fiber HD camera mount. Lower SMA antenna mount. Wide motor mounts for extra protection. Velcro strap slots. Falcon 185 has every feature you ever wanted in Shrike, a simpler and more durable design than Mixsuko and Kreiger, and is lighter, shorter, and faster than all of them.

At 290g dry and 409g all up with a 4S 1000mAh, Falcon is light, but doesn't sacrifice durability in the process. Add a GoPro Session, and Falcon is ready for HD racing at only 486g.

Falcon 185 is available now at Multirotor Superstore, FPV Aces, and Drone Eclipse!

Visit falconmultirotors.com for details, photos, build guides, and more!

Just when I check out multirotor for this and don't find it, come back here to see it delayed! What happened? Will it also be available on armattanproduction.com?

So the good news is I can ship your Falcon frame tomorrow. The bad news is the packaging and stickers are delayed, so you won't get those (and I can't send the frames out to the dealer without packaging).

Can you send me a direct message with your e-mail address? I'll get you hooked up.

Did you put out another video racing somebody at that same warehouse? I think I saw that on reddit.

IRC and I go way back, but I just don't have a client I like anymore. I used mIRC for years before I switched to Mac, but after that I never found a decent alternative. Plus, I like the luxury of doing everything in my browser.

That's fair, I guess I need to get it a chance. But then I'll see work stuff in the tabs right next to my play stuff... Kind of a buzz kill :P

You're thinking about it the wrong way. What will it always look like you're doing in Slack at the desk? =D

Jun 21, 2021

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
