This was my first ever build. I didn't listen to the internet when they said the atom isn't a beginner friendly build. But I wanted something small yet flies like the big boys. I learned everything from youtube, multicopter subreddit and the fpvchat on slack. Thank you everyone for helping! It was a great learning experience. The only thing I would change is, actually listen to the internet and start off with the 1105 motors, this thing is hard to fly. I'm new to flying in rate mode.

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..

Hey great build and advice, could I ask how you actually mounted the unify pro and the triumph antenna please?
