prototype edition "arctic silver" kevlar layered Armattan Morphite 155x frame. This kevlar/carbon combo is currently not available to the public and still undergoing testing. Chris at ArmattanQuads will be releasing a limited run of colored frames soon!
Armattan's PODs didn't appeal to me because of their weight, so I stole a FPV top plate from my STYX design (www.lazr.us). This, along with the 4in1 ESC contributed to a lighter build. Currently the 155x weighs in at around 175g, but I still need to install a VTX. Wasn't intending on a FUFAA design with this guy, just wanted something small and light that was still fast. I think AUW will come out to just under 300g based on battery choice. The 1804 2480kv and 4" BN props are great for lazy acro flying on 3s and will be a blast for racing on 4s. Super efficient as well, flights nearing 10 mins on 1300mah 3s packs.

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..
