First 5" build in a long time with new components, all my other 5" builds are still using original Emax Redbottoms so it's nice to see what else is out there. This one gave me a lot of problems with voltage spikes frying the electronics but eventually found a combo (below) that works. Flies great with stock PID's.

Thanks, really digging them too. It's an AirbladeUAV Intrepid 5". It's still in prototype. Should be available pretty soon though.

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..
