This is the main quad I use to race. It is meant to be as a light yet durable where it counts build.
Dry weight is at 215g. It flies in a kind of point-and-shoot way. There's not much momentum to it.

Runs on stock 3.2+ betaflight settings and PIDs except for:

  • 8k/8k
  • disabled accelerometer
  • 2.02 / 0 / 0.65 rates
  • 35 degree cam angle compensation

So far the biggest problem is to find a light battery that doesnt sags when you punch it. Go for 1300mAh 100C to be safe but 1000mAh 100C can do the trick to on very small track.

This is not an easy drone to build. Lots of little thing that can go wrong.

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..
