My first custom build, the ITS-FPV Hornet!
Custom designed and fabricated structural components as well as some basic electronics!
Based on a QAV style of frame, this one has 3k 4mm base and 3mm upper deck, with cutouts specific to my needs. 3D printed poly-carbonate front bumper\headlight holder & Engine guards.
Two FPV cameras, one forward facing Runcam Eagle2, the other downward facing micro camera to help spot those landings!
This thing is built to be noise free, with not only 220uf caps on each of the ESCs, but a custom soft mounted PCB hosting 2200uF Caps and a 12v BEC. The idea being to be able to punch out massively without any battery lag or noise on the VTX.
I've made it really easy to fly for LOS, with massively bright 12v headlight and Lumenier full RGB LED set.
its little heavy due the carbon thickness and the large 3D parts, but all the screws and standoff are either 7075 aluminium or gold.
All Custom crimped all the picoblade , Molex and BST silicone leads ( camera, receiver, LED, etc).
The four TBS Bullet 25 amp ESC to be replaced with Holybro Tekko32 35A BLHeli_32 ESC Dshot1200 shortly.
so do you make this frame?

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..
