This is a running and flying quad but I already have a bunch of changes planned so I'm posting this itteration and will rebuild and report.
Fit and finish is great, as I've come to expect from Armattan.
Those sunk nuts require some controlled use of force. Don't be afraid to whack them, but don't go total hamfist.
The VTX and wiring harness to the 4 in 1 worked out nicely, with ample room behind the stack. The VAS ion and Eagle Pro 2 are putting out crystal clear video. I usually don't run audio but decided to for this long ranger and because the Eagle Pro 2 has an onboard mic, so it was only a matter of one extra wire. Nice! I'm not a huge proponent of unnecessary heat shrink, insulustion etc, but couldn't help hiding the lead from the camera.
Bonus spot the cat pic.

How do you like that frame? Is it the 6'' arms?
How do you get the direct connect working on the raceflight and hobbywing esc?
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..

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..

nice build! the wiring harness, I noticed your xrotor 4in1 is turned 180. Does the pic of the wiring harnness depict that motor sequence?
The FC is mapped directly to the 4 in , meaning signal 1 is mapped to motor one, I woulndt necissarily use my colors as a guide, as the colors on specifc harnesses often are different. It is turned 180, so the battery pig tail can sneak up through the front, cleaner for top mounting. the motors do have to be swapped in your FC software, RF, Betaflight, etc, which is pretty simple
