Rooster v2

Allllrightythen, let's get to the story!

So I've been trying to save money for a new car and not buy any new quad stuff until spring... then Mr. Steele just has to be a dick and release his limited edition taranis which I have been waiting on since like forever, and theyre only making 499 of them. I simply had to have it! (my current tx is an offbrand called Radiolink which actually has great range, but crap gimbals, no open tx, and no module compatibility). This sent me into a purchasing spiral :)

And the research began:
Armattan Rooster's finally released, um hell yeah, add to cart.
Dayyum Steele dropped his V2 motors too, add to cart.
Receiver.... let's go with the FrSky XM+.

Guess I'll need an F4 board and 32 bit ESCs to boot.

Looks like the Wraith 32 v2's have a ton of caps compared to normal, schweeet, added.

Took a while to decide on an fc, but I saw the Dys F4 Pro v2 comes in at a hefty 10.5 grams, and I'm taking that to mean that it will handle some serious amp abuse! Added.

I'll steal the Unify and triumph from my old chameleon.

Seems like most of the build is v2 parts so I'm simply calling it the Rooster v2 (or maybe I should call it Chameleon v2, as the Rooster is the v2 of the Chameleon lol.)

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..
