After a few nights of dropping some serious micro brushless knowledge on Kabab through Facebook messages, I mentioned to him that I actually only have cheapo micro rigs since I've been broke as a joke ever since I got into this hobby. As a thank you to me for helping him out he surprised the hell out of me by sending me this frame, a ton of replacement parts, and an assload of props that he basically used as packaging foam (best idea ever!)
I was so blown away that I decided the build would be sort of a Kabab Signature tribute to his generosity to myself and the entire community so I asked him what his favorite motors, props, and camera were at the time and ordered them up. He's got a flight controller coming out that I will swap in when it comes out but for now this excellent Hobbywing X-Rotor stack will do just fine :)

Do u think its possible to have the vtx mounted to the top plate with the antenna coming out the back, like a traditional build? I'm trying to use some of the cheaper vtxs
How's the Flowride holding up in crashes?
DAYUM. I don't spend a lot time over concrete - but i've never killed a motor in a crash (fingers crossed). I ripped bells off a few but nothing permanent that wasn't due to overheating or instasmoking on the bench.
I think i'm about to pull the trigger on some RCX NK2207 or NK2306's ... really like my RCX stuff. $14.99/ea.

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..

Damn that thing looks fast. I'm working on a similar build, using the same frame and motors. What kind of flight time are you getting out of the 1300 CNHL?
Anywhere from 2 to 4 minutes depending on how much ground I'm covering, these motors make a TON of power so at the top of the throttle they've thirsty bastards :)
