Falcon 210 Evolution

This was born as a Falcon 210 Pro ARF. At some point I decided to transplant its weaksauce hardware onto a Nighthawk X5 frame to use as a trainer and put better stuff on this one. This was the result.

Photo shows quad during testing, with no HD camera and a cheap ZOP battery.

Note: don't use the V4 F3 board for builds with discrete ESCs unless you have your soldering down - it's obviously meant for 4-in-1 stackable ESCs and requires some tricky solder joints to adapt it.

Also ignore the prices, I got everything during flash sales and paid much less.

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..
