Just getting into the hobby and decided to do a build rather than buying a ready-to-fly. Currently going with all of this on a 3" plate, but am waiting for a 6" plate from Armattan Productions.

I was originally going to use Racerstar 30a blheli_32 esc units but the arms are so short there really is not much room to do so, so opted for the 4in1.

Have not seen much of anything with the newly released 5200kv 1407 Warp 2 motors from Raceflight... so... First!

I have an interesting plan for the camera setup in the future, but first thing is first with the initial 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..
