BoltRC sent me this setup to try out, and it's insane. By far my lightest build and it flies like it. It handles like a high KV quad on much lower KV and much less current. AUW with light 4S 1300mah packs is under 400g, and weight without battery is right at 244g.

Hi
Just wondering how durable those motors turned out to be? On the fence about getting some.

I destroyed one slamming into a telephone pole at full throttle, but so far that's the only one. Lightness comes at a cost in terms of durability, so I wouldn't expect them to be as strong as heavier motors, but so far I haven't found them to be lacking.

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..
