Built this to test out the Uber Design 220 to test out my friend Eric's design. It's an amazing little beast, and I can't believe how well it flies.

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..

That's a lot of videos! Might work better to post each one as a separate discussion. I'm still considering how to create a dedicated video system.
Maybe not allow embedding of the videos in the comments? Or instead of having the player show by default, hide it until you click play? Something similar to reddit's RES where it has a play button and the windows stays minimized until it is clicked.
Just some suggestions! Great site!
Thanks for the suggestion Syrne! I was thinking about adding an "Add Video" button to the build editor where it'll add a thumbnail of the video just like the images section. When you click a thumbnail it'll go to a separate page with just the video and the comments below. How does that sound?
I'm sure that would work well! Looking forward to the changes, I've done a little web dev myself so it's really cool to see your site evolve. When I first landed on this page I thought, "Wow, this niche hobby has some really professional looking websites!!" Keep up the good work :)
Thanks for the support! I've been doing web dev for almost 20 years, so it's nice to build something for myself every once in a while.
