This is a long time coming. I bought the Kit from PItch Roll Yaw and was in love with the frame, the parts, everything. But this took me forever to build. Between soldering iron's not working right, fc's frying when i plugged the usb in. UY.

HOWEVER, it is finished, and I am in love. This little four inch monster will be a helluva lot of fun to fly. And at 168g dry (without 1000mah 4s) its a nice light monster ;P.

I bought in addition to the frame, the Long Body Extension kit from LAZD, which I will post soon! It it a nice addition to a really nice frame (Added bonus that it gives you a little more real estate to build in, which is always nice!).

THanks again for a great frame @LAZD!

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..
