Very nice build! Great use of the micro PDB too. I might try something like this with the Kombini FC

I am looking for a reasonably priced 6'' frame.Is it still in one piece.Let me know.Thanks

MattS Jul 13, 2016

Hey John! Yes, I'm still flying the 4mm SR6 frame, also have a SR5 (version for 5" props). It's a great frame that's held up well.

johnslims Jul 13, 2016

Excellent! Iam ordering tonight.I have been on a long quest for a good,fairly priced unibody frame that can swing 6''.I totalled my zmr and actually like flying 6'' over my 5'' 210.Plus I like to have a backup on hand.Thanks for quick reply.

johnslims Jul 13, 2016

I think you actually recommended this to me the other day on r/multicopter.I asked about a good 6 inch frame.I am glad you posted.

Where do you mount the battery? How does it look loaded up with a battery and HD cam?

Whiffles Mar 02, 2016

I linked the Elmers Acrylic Painters markers... Use a couple coats of white then your main color for best results

Whiffles Apr 05, 2016

Great! Wow, $15 for a set of paint markers. And those props are the "green" ones listed here? I like that they aren't neon green.

MattS Apr 05, 2016

If you go to Joann's Fabrics they always have 30 to 40% off coupons - i think i got those for $9. Again, use a white paint marker first to get the color to pop!

The Props listed are HQs - the ones pictured are DAL 6040s.

Build a 5" Long Range Drone - Transformer Ultralight

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..
