My go-to racer for tight courses and anything technical. It's super snappy, stable, etc. Running it on BF3.2 and it's like a video game 90% of the time. The internally mounted AXII isn't the greatest signal, but it's good enough for any of the races I've done, and it means never having to buy another antenna. It's easy enough to mount outside the body if I need more range.

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.
