Bannilight build for Sebring 2018. Fairly light weight build and I'm hoping that it will be a good racer.

I really like this frame, but I'm kind of spooked about the motor protection. What do you think? Is it a reasonable worry to have?
The arm extends out in front of the motors to protect from frontal impacts. So if you are using it for racing you are covered from the majority of impacts. The 5mm arms also help in that regard.
Generally hitting anything at the angle where you would hit the side of a motor is rare, i think for a lightweight frame it is more than adequate.
AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class!

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..

What size capacitor are you using? (dimmensions and voltage,uf values) That is a perfect place to put it, very nice.
It's a 1000uf 25v. Not sure on the actual dimensions.
