Catalyst Machineworks Superlight 5" Norris Edition
By BigNastyFPV on Jul 04, 2017
I wanted an extremely light and agile racer and the Catalyst Machineworks Superlight 5" Norris Edition frame takes a back seat to none. AUW before lipo should be just over 200g with this setup. Previously I've built quads with big motors and lots of power. Switching gears to chasing grams and putting a quad on a diet should be interesting. I expect this rig will flat out move with ease!

My Hyperlite Floss build has 2206 motors and it's extremely fast and efficient! I have a buddy that built a norris with lumenier 2204 skitzo motors and at a little above 200g, that isn't nearly as powerful but extremely efficient. I'm really thinking your motors would be such a great compromise between the 2204-2206's that it might be the perfect super lightweight build.
To be honest, I almost don't ever want to build a regular mini 5" quad ever again...
I'm hoping it's the right balance of power and weight to really be dangerous. Everything else I have has 2306 or at least 2206 honkers on them and it's just a drag race. I still love the power setups but had to try this route. The Floss is a great frame for this type of build as well! This should be a little different LOL.

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..

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..

Hi, how do you like the 2205 2522kv motors? I'm deciding between those or the 2204 2722kv.
Definitely go for the 2205 if you are gonna run 5".
Would you say 2205 2522kv or the 2206 2722kv/2522kv?
2206 2522 if you are going to
