Wow, that's a pricey build. What sort of flight times does it get?
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.

What a shame. It was certainly quite an investment.
