Finally done with my new main rig. I built this one specifically for “extended range freestyle” and “long range journeys”, while still being able to rip it up in a small park. AUW 559g

James - love your videos!! I'm curious - what kind of flight times do you get with a build like this?

jamesnater Mar 05, 2018

On freshly charged 1300s, I go about 4 - 5.5 minutes depending if I land at 900mAh used or 1100mAh used, and also depending on how I fly. I've been considering higher capacity batteries of similar weight (probably not hard to do, CNHL batteries weigh heavy)

Dan412 Feb 11, 2018

Nice build! Do you mind sharing how/which UART you used for the Crossfire rx? I have same Flip 32 F4 (Revo pin edition) board but none of the UARTS work even after binding with the receiver . Same result with SBUS or CRSF. Thanks.

jamesnater Mar 05, 2018

Sorry for the late reply, I'm not on here much. You might want to try switching the tx and rx wires from the receiver to the board, I had a similar issue.

very nice! whats the weight without battery?

jamesnater Dec 18, 2017

AUW is 549g, and CNHL Batteries are heavy... I’ll check when I get home!

jamesnater Dec 24, 2017

404g

if you have a second, can you tell me what KV motors your running on this? with these props?

jamesnater Dec 23, 2017

1900kv, but going 5s soon

idiotsniff Dec 18, 2017

what KV motor are you running on this build? doesn't say in the link just says pick KV? how do you like those props? thanks for your time,

jamesnater Dec 23, 2017

I haven’t flown it outside yet, but the motors are 1900kv, eventually going to start using 5s batteries.

Querk Dec 18, 2017

how is the battery strap held down? is it just ziptied?

jamesnater Dec 18, 2017

Held down with 2 zip ties. The props spin directly under the motor... REALLY playing with fire here.

Querk Dec 18, 2017

holy shit

jamesnater Dec 23, 2017

Oh I meant battery not motor. But yeah, still danger zone

Build a 5" Long Range Drone - Transformer Ultralight

Jun 21, 2021

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
