7" AstroX Switch Freestyle long range mountain destroyer.
AstroX Switch Freestyle with optional 7" arms, both bought from SkyHobbies Singapore.
This is the 4th AstroX frame in my fleet, the carbon quality is by far the best of all the premium frames I have owned over the years.
T-Motor were selected as this is the brand I have used on almost all my builds, top quality, performance and durability.
Omnibus F4 V5 Flight Controller, after leaving KISS to go back to Betaflight I've always found the Omnibus to be feature packed and good build quality.
Hobbywing Xrotor ESC is a solid performer and should easily be capable of handling the power requirements of this build.
Rotor Riot Swift 2 (not in the standard silver RR case as I accidentally snapped a mounting screw in the case during build)
Tramp HV VTX had a spare so used it here.
TBS Crossfire Micro V2 for confidence out long range.
Graupner 6.5x4.5 Race-Prop, never used these before. Massive gap in the market for 7" props, I went for these as Graupner have a good reputation and couldn't source 7" HQ's in the UK, hopefully HQ will soon release more 7" offerings.

this is super clean. I would recommend some "braided wire sleeve" to make it even cleaner instead of leaving the triple motor cable exposed.

Thanks, I wanted to use the braided sleeve but couldn't get it in time for the build. will definitely use it on my next 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..
