12/31/17 - Building a 7mm whoop piece by piece now that I've seen how BetaFPV built their Flysky BNF. They VHB'ed an RX to the base of their FC.
01/05/18 - Put everything together and realized I got the wrong size props. I need 31mm with a 0.8mm shaft hole. 40 are too large for the ducts and have a 1mm shaft hole. The BetaFPV board is not powering up and I'm negotiating a remedy with their Service team. I've purchased a Beecore V2 with OSD and onboard Ibus Flysky Receiver in the meantime. RacedayQuads.com had a 10% off sale.
01/08/18 - Beecore arrived today and I had it bound and soldered within minutes. To use Ibus with the Flysky version you must select Uart3 and have Serial Based selected in the configurator tab of Betaflight. This board will use AFHDS 2A unlike the original. Maiden hover went well. I can't wait to finish the break in period and really rip this thing around. It sounds so mean in the air. Running 4 blade props from my Eachine E010 which happen to perfectly match the canopy.

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..
Read moreWith 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.
