This is my first build and I personally think she turned out gorgeous. That's a real scorpion on my garage while I was soldering it was eating a worm. Hence the name. I got newer items because I figured that I could grow with the quad on beta, but I am struggling with D shot for some reason so I'm Currently on horizon mode flying Multishot. I don't have my FPV goggles yet so that's fine hopefully by then someone on here could give me some pointers if you heard of this issue with F7 flight controller. I figure it's because I have the release candidate uploaded but haven't seen anyone else with this issue so I'm not sure. Hope you guys like her will be posting more pictures soon.

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..
