Nice craft!
What is the weight? Any info on flying time/battery? Thanks

Way to many variables to give a pinpoint fly time. I will say I've been testing with two 1600mah 4s packs in parallel (see photo) and I'm getting about 5-6 minutes with an AUW of 1100g and it handles really nice and I've yet to open the throttle up to wide open. I'm doing 5s testing this weekend hopefully but I flew a small 5s 1300mah and almost got 3 minutes.

Thank for the info! Is it not to heavy with two parallel batteries? I was trying to find some info in www.ecalc.ch but your motors are not there. I was asking because I am looking for a sort of "long range" drone. I am more interested in time than speed. It will be my first drone! :)

It can take more weight easily. Yeah I get a lot of things to test all the time so many times I dont have a link to the components or gear. This is a great frame and so is the 316 which is the 7" version. Another great one is the 7" big corgette from Andy over at shendrones and it's available here in the USA.

Any links to more info on this frame?!

There's probably less that a dozen here in the states and I have two. It was a very limited run. There is this 336 and a 7" 316 frame. The designer is Stefan van der Ende and his page is here on Facebook if you want to try and contact him. He resides in Spain.

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..
