This is my second ever drone build after my first budget build only had 5 flights before I fried the board due to bad soldering. I have had a couple pre-built quads and the one I found to enjoy the most was my pre built Chameleon with Oomph motors. I've crashed many times with it and it just keeps on going and flies super stable. Because of that I decided to build a Chameleon from the ground up using their new Velvet motors, this time taking much more care into the soldering and overall look. For my 2nd build, I think I did pretty good.
Maiden Flight + testing our my first race gate.

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..
