The illustrious LAZD worked with me to make some modifications to his new Featherlite 4" to accommodate the new 1608 T2 motors. I had two goals, more power than my aging 5" builds, and ability to do that while carrying a GoPro and 1300mah lipo... Yeh I know I'm insane.
This was the result, and it is exactly what I had hoped for. Flies like a dream, smooth and powerful. My next revision will incorporate a custom pod to house a 30.5x30.5 stack and the Runcam Split, but that's to come later.

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.
