Finally ended up with a Demibot...kinda knew this would be a frame to pick up. I know there are a couple more split deck designs that are similar in claims of durability...but all frames break at some point.

So for now this is my first HDZero freestyle rig (got a mob6 with Hdzero and I'm pretty impressed so far).
I hear what everyone is saying about range and penetration pretty much being like analog, but I'm willing to take the lesser range for better latency.

Trying out the hobbywing stack with this build...but the pre-fitted cap and power lead solution threw me off a little... I personally prefer 12 gauge wires for power leads, so I switched em out. Capacitor was fine, but the angle it came out of the ESC was a bit...hard to fit

Also... it's 4S for now, still not fully jumped on the 6S train. Got a couple o rigs on 6S, and I'm guessing for full size GoPro or other large action cameras this makes sense...figuring that most of my builds come in under or around 500g with battery I really don't see the need as I'm still getting between 3 and 6 minutes of average flight time, depending on how aggressive I fly and how fresh the pack is

Just pointing out that it's 4S cause finding the right motors in the parts list is a bit annoying

Which sanding did you use before spraying the carbon?

ja, bin momentan in Kalifornien, deshalb würde sich PayPal/DHL eher besser eignen 😁...hab zwar noch leute in Bretzenheim und Wiesbaden die ich kenne, aber niemanden der sich darauf stürzen würde ne Stunde oder zwei in die Pampa zu fahren für mein seltsames Hobby 😂

Ich weiß die Platform hier ist nicht wirklich optimal zum chatten und so...und alles ist voll öffentlich, aber momentan mach kein Discord und bin auch sonst etwas "social media shy"
... ich schreib dir ne DM hier auf rotorbuilds, für die Transaktion reichts

DHL möchte 12€/20€ als Päckchen ohne Sendungsverfolgung (jenachdem wie klein man es verpackt bekommt), und mit Sendungsverfolgung 48€.

Mainz ~1/2h, Wi 3/4h (bin ich jahrelang täglich gefahren). Zu Not auch an Officetagen auf dem Weg nach FFM.

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..
