Kwad box build. Xhover Win5 Frame, CheePass motors, and Raceflight Revolt flight controller are all Kwad box monthly box items. This is my first time building Raceflight.
The Hobbywing 4in1, Foxeer cam, RX, and Mach1 VTX are left over from other machines that are not flying. Therefore my total cost for this build was basically nothing, just picking parts out of my bin. What a deal! At the time of building I did not have an AXII antenna to install.
I think it's a clean build over all. Total weight without battery 287 grams.
Modded the 4in1 to remove the plug that goes to the matching FC to make the stack shorter. Since the Revolt doesn't have OSD chip, nothing is connected to the Revolt except the Flysky receiver and the ESC. The Mach1 VTX, Foxeer cam, and x6b voltage sensor are all connected to the Solder pads on the VTX to keep the wires simple.

Thoughts on the motors?
With the low KV they top out pretty quickly, to get power you'll ave to stay at the top of the sticks. maybe nicer than 2205 racerstars, and you can get them domestic for about the same price and not wait for a china boat. Overall not bad for short track racing or long of flight times when doing aimless freestyle.

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class!

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..
