White Lightning

I decided to build a 2204 five inch lightweight to contend with my son and the Realacc Stan. My goal of coming in under 250g's dry and keeping it on the cheap was met by using the same components as the Stan. The dry weight on the Realacc SX220E Stretch X frame came in at 245 and AUW is 395 with a Tattu 1300.

I happened to see this video on giving your dipole a stiffy ( Insert Viagra joke ) and thought I would give it a try. It worked so nicely that I thought I should share the Vid here.

Thanks!! If I can ever get a break from work and all of this rain. I would definitely love to oblige ya some DVR footage.. lol Other than a little testing I don't even think I've had my goggles on in two months. If it weren't for long nights and lots of coffee I wouldn't even be able to build.

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..
