This is the main quad I use to race and practice flying. It is meant to be heavy duty (think bullet proof) at the expense of weight.
I have another build that is virtually identical except for the frame (but frame has same layout and almost same dimension)
Runs on stock betaflight settings and PIDs except for
The electronics supports 6S in theory (and tested) but motor's KV is too high. Considering the of the overall build, 4S is the only realistic option. Right now, after a heavy flight session, ESC, motors and battery are equally warm to the touch, which indicate its a somewhat balanced build in term of weight/motor/battery/esc-rating.
This is such a heavy duty build that my main problem now is that parts are wearing down. The frame itself is also wearing down because of all the crashes and scraping on hard surface (concrete, parvement). Also had quite a few solder point breaking because of vibration and crashes. Have to put liquid tape on all solder joins as a stress relief or else they start randomly breaking after 40 to 50 packs.
RS2205S are pretty bad unless you fix them. Issues are:
To protect batteries, a thick 2" heatshrink is used. Be careful not to overheat the battery when applying heat to the heatshink tube.

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..

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..
