"Mad with Power" - The Lunacy Project. Hyper(Not)lite 6" F-80 Build.

I've had these F-80's sitting around for a while, couldn't decide what to put them on. Than at a race a month or so back, I managed to pluck some 6" Hyperlite arms out of a box of random stuff a buddy was giving away, and it seemed like the perfect frame for this build! I wanted to build something just insane using these motors, and I think i succeeded! She may not look pretty, but trust me, she's got it where it counts! I expected this thing to be fast, but I had no idea, it's just a rocket...

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..
