This build was inspired by the DYS Storm motors, although i wanted to use this very specific frame, this frame is so thin that it is lower than the height of the motors, therefore i was forced to use an all in one board, so that it all could fit, i then wrapped the motor wires in lovely purple cable sleeving (or as my friend calls them "fish-net stockings"). i used heat-shrink to seal the ends and soldered the ends to my board, then it was just a simple matter of adding FPV and tidying the wires, overall i couldn't be happier i think it is a super sexy build.

How do you find the HobbyRC battery?
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..
Read moreWith 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..

Seriously considering trying the Racerstar StarF4 for my next build.
How do you find it?
It's not bad and it performs fine but the layout is a little weird and some of the pads are in weird places and i had a problem connecting my RX but I found a solution in this link: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2872247-Racerstar-TattooF4S-Star-F3S-StarF4-StarF4S-50-AIO-FC-BF-OSD-30A-ESC-PDB-BEC (It's right at the bottom of the first page). I mean it's still working and it's been my main quad for the past few months so I think it's solid. Good luck with your build!
