This is my main racing rig. 4" is the sweet spot as far as I'm concerned on 90% of tracks. The Raceflight stack was a bit tricky to tune at first, mostly because it was pinned. Now that it's dialed in (and unpinned), it really showcases the strengths of the Sinew as a racing frame. It handles brutal gate smacks like a champ, yet feels like a laser beam shooting through the sky. Did I mention it's low drag design also makes it very efficient? My next build will be a mini freestyle rig based on this same frame (except a thicker 5mm baseplate) with a Runcam Split to handle FPV and HD duties. These motors on a 160g quad are just silly!

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..
