I really like the DYS 30A 4in1 ESC and DYS F4 Pro Flight Controller combo, and I had a couple of hours to kill, so I pulled a Hyperlite EVO HD 5" frame down off the shelf and started the build. There is really a lot of available space on this frame, so fitting the remainder of the electronics was a breeze.
For the transmitter, I decided on the Lumenier TX5G2R 200mW with Raceband (Pigtail SMA), and added a 50mm EMAX Pagoda 2 5.8G Omni antenna. The frame comes with a convenient mounting hole, allowing you to side-mount the antenna for a really clean look. The VTX pigtail routes nicely to the underside of the 50mm antenna.
The DYS SE PRO 2205 2550kV Motors come with plenty of black wire, and I love the way these motors perform in flight. Very quiet and powerful. I mounted up the motors, then soldered the wires from the motors to the DYS 30A 4in1 ESC.
Camera duties are handled by a RunCam Swift2 with 2.5mm lens.
Since the camera is orange, and the frame came with orange standoffs, I decided to go with a set of orange DalProp Cyclone T5046C Propellers. You can never have enough orange, so I topped off the build with an orange Foxeer battery strap.
This was one of the easier builds I have ever done, and everything went together smoothly.

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..
