Back to the roots! My first sub-400 racing quad was the well known and proven ZMR250. It had tons of 3D print parts and flew like a bus. Since then Ive built many sub-200 class racers both in 4" and 5" setups. Technology flies in this hobby and when I came across the ZMR in 200 size, just big enough for 5" props, I knew I had to bring back this timeless frame to an up-to-date technological level.
It weighs in at 595g including Yi and a 1300mAh 4S Tattu battery.

How much space do you have between the frame and those props? I thought 210 was as small as you could get for 5". Looks like I was wrong!

There is at least 3mm space between the props and the frame - fits perfectly.
These size numbers always describe the lenght from motor to motor diagonally. So it depends on the frame itself, which size of props will fit. Shrike for example only has 185mm size, designed for 5". The X-layout makes it possible. On a regular H-quad in rectangle layout, these 185mm would be just enough for 4" propellers. But I even have a 160mm 4" build - they just cut away the ends of the frame base to make it fit ;-)

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..
