Micro X68 - Brushless 2s Tiny-Whoop-ish

This little bad boy "Micro X68" is quite similar to the 66mm Rakonheli 2S Brushless Whoop (RKH 66).
Nevertheless, I'm using some different components and slightly bigger motors.

Build notes:

  • The 2s-battery mount I have to print on myself
  • I rotated the flight controller by -90 degree, in order to always access the USB port.
  • After upgrading all firmware, this baby now flies with DSHOT600 and Betaflight 3.2.5
  • The motors just use/have a press-fit shaft, were I already pulled off two bells (smashed two motors) while changing a prop. I can't recommend these motors - c-clips are a must.

Overall - a very sweet little drone :-)

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..
