This FlightClub Tokio X is my 4th quad build and I really like the way it turned out. I decided to go for a blacked out or "murdered out" theme and I think it looks pretty mean. The one-piece injection molded canopy and 4-in-1 ESC make for a super clean look. If you're thinking about building a similar setup, I have two pro tips. 1) Make sure you solder the motor wires in a single line almost on top of each other and parallel (vs. perpendicular) to the left/right sides of the 4-in-1 ESC. If you don't know what I mean, just watch the FlightClub build video. I initially soldered the motors wires coming in to the side of the ESC and then I couldn't fit the canopy over the stack. 2) Run full lipo voltage to the BetaflightF3 FC in addition to the 4-in-1 ESC. I originally powered the FC via the 5V output on the ESC but after passing through the 5V regulator on the FC, there wasn't enough voltage (~3V) to sufficiently power my FPV camera and VTX.

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..
