My super strong hands with impressive grip strength shattered the nylon winglet upon first touch. I was forced to mount my camera differently than intended, so an old-skool stack and top plate arrangement had to do. If you cant look like the Rocketeer then look like Lothar (the big blocky headed villain from the movie.)

Guides & Reviews
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.

Ooo this looks very similar to the OG prototype, where I used a square top plate off a Falcon 130!
Yeah it doesn't really look that bad but I have to ask do you have any extra winglets printed?
We haven't even gotten through the first batch of orders, winglets wise. There was an issue with the first nylon that we bought and things got set back. New stuff should be skook though... did you manage to break yours or something?
Yeah, actually thats why I ended up using the top place situation. I somehow pulled it apart on the front leg when I was fitting it the first time.
Sounds like I may have accidentally mixed up one from the old batch.. the new stuff we put in a vice and bent it every which way, hit it with a mallet and all that and it was all we could do to break one! I'll getcha a spare or two sent along when we're caught up on the prints my man.
Thanks I appreciate that! I'll hit you up in chat sometime later
