Something happened with the motor link btw, It says the motors are $1000. idk if its something you can fix though, might be glitched. Could you imagine if that was real though? theyd have to be some serious motors to be worth that lol. Nice build btw! The leader 120 is old, but still one of the very best frames in the 2.5-3 inch range. Its super light and plenty strong. 65gram dry with 2.8 inch props is damn impressive. Not many frames can pull that off.
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..
Read moreWith 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..

Aha another similar build I have to you. Give these props a go if you want to let your motors run out a little more on 3s, worked really well for me:

RS1106 6000kv with KK 2840 props have no problems. I have some 3025 props but I'm testing rx2535 before
I wasnt aware that the leader 120 could fit 3 inch props. isnt 2.8 max on this frame?
dead right, they have been trimmed abouy 3mm
Do you guys have any links for a good prop trimming setup? I've got a TON of 3 inch props id like to trim down for my 2.5inch babyhawk r. I've been hesitant to trim them because I dont want to half ass it and get bad vibrations.

Wow, what a simple but clever design. erfect! Thank you very much for the link!
