Really nice 5s build!

Nice looking build! Did you leave out the standoff on the left side to access the micro usb port on the FC? I'm trying to figure out what to do on this frame with this stack to reach the USB w/o it being a total PITA.

I normally leave it on and just tune/ configure with OSD. I've flown a few times without that standoff while trying to tweak settings that aren't in the OSD, but it's ended with snapped FC pins and a smooshed USB port so not doing that anymore.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess I don’t know how often I’ll need to plug in for config changes as I’m coming from Kiss and don’t know what all I’ll be able to do with BF OSD. I’ll find out soon enough! Thanks again

nice build!! any source of getting gps work on a x-rotor stack? (i'm using futaba s-bus, so my UART1 is taken)... couldn't do it on naze32 because gps and s-bus share same port..

Haven't gotten my new GPS antenna just yet but this is the guide I used last time: https://diegofpv.com/how-to-add-gps-to-a-miniquad-with-betaflight-3-2/

What frame will you be using? Also, have you ordered your LS2207s yet? I'll be curious to see how you like them

It'll be a ShowMeWhatYouGot Steez with the m0ke pod. Pretty sure the frame is going to be the last thing to become available. Just ordered my motors from PiroFlip.

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..
