Finally getting to uploading some of my builds on here gonna cheat and start with this easy one. I had all the parts laying around and decided why not make something out of them. This is going to be my backup race quad and hopefully I can get my Dad to start racing with this soon enough. The build was very easy with the Emax Magnum AiO stack (Thanks to FlyRcNow.com). The only things I needed to solder were the xt60 to the esc, the motor wires to the esc, the camera wires and the xm+ to the pins on the FC. All in all this build came together very easily without a doubt the quickest build I have ever done taking less than 2 hours to finish. Most of this time was taken cutting motor wires to length and securing them down with shrink wrap. Flashed with 3.2 last night and maiden'd it this morning, the stretch X flys like a dream!

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
