Obsessed with Orange

So, this is peak orange for me.... but I loved carrying the theme through. Sadly orange silicon isn't very vibrant so the wires and electrical tape aren't as nice as I hoped. I actually took the tape off the arms because it was too much. This thing flew like a dream on default PIDs and betaflight 3.1.7 with the D-term filtering steps 1 and 2 implemented. However, I'm not super happy with the fact that a 10ft fall onto grass caused an arm to break around the motor mount holes. Hoping it was a fluke, but I have heard similar reports elsewhere.

Hah, yeah - it's 1/2" internal diameter aquarium tube. I slice it down one side and it sits nice over the arm under the tape.

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..
