This week I am building the BetaFPV X-Knight 5″ Toothpick – a 6S 5-inch FPV drone under 250g including battery, using the X-Knight frame and some other components from BetaFPV.

Build: Umma95 Naked GoPro Cinewhoop
A few weeks ago I built the Umma85 cinewhoop – a 104g FPV drone carrying the decased GoPro Hero 6. This time I am building a slightly larger version with bigger propellers and Caddx Vista for FPV.
Build: Umma85 Cinewhoop (Naked GoPro 6 + Beta85X Micro Drone)
Imagine having a 100g micro drone that’s capable of shooting GoPro quality video… Well, dream has come true! In this post I will show you how I built a drone that carries the GoPro Hero 6, but is even lighter than a GoPro :D
2.5″ Micro Quad Build with HGLRC FD413 Stack and XING 1103 Motors
So this is the first time I build a “toothpick” style micro quad from scratch and not buying a pre-built kit :) This should be fun as I get to choose my own hardware!
Another 6S 5″ Build – Speedybee Frame/CLRacing FC /HGLRC ESC
This week I am building a new 5″ quad that runs 6S LiPo. The goal of this build is to test new technologies of a few products, and new features in Betaflight. There are new 6S LiPo I will be testing on this build too.
HGLRC Arrow 3″ Mini Quad Build
It’s time to build another 3″ quad! This time I will be using parts mostly from HGLRC – the first time I am checking out their products.
7” Long Range FPV Drone Build with Mode 2 Frame
7″ quadcopters have better efficiency and flight time for long range than 5″. You can use a lot of same components from 5″ racing drones on 7″. It is larger than a 5″, but you can still comfortably carry it around.
Build: STRIX Screech Freestyle Frame
The Strix Screech 5″ freestyle frame is a great value option developed by ReadymadeRC. I am still finding it hard to believe you can get a frame of this quality at such a low price.
Reptile S800 V2 FPV Wing Build Log
The Reptile S800 V2 is my second FPV wing and I absolutely love it so far! Extremely durable, affordable and easy to build. It flies pretty nice too! In this build log I will document what I did and offer some tips for anyone new to wing FPV.
Review: BeeBrain Lite Build from NewBeeDrone
I’ve been a great fan of the BeeBrain V2, never had such an easy and fun experience building and flying a tiny whoop. It’s about to get better with the new BeeBrain Lite, a more compact and better performance FC for the Tiny Whoops!
Ummagawd Acrobrat Build with Runcam Split Mini V2
In this post, I will be reviewing and building the Ummagawd Acrobrat 3″ micro frame from Rotor Riot, with the latest Runcam split Mini V2 camera.
Supafly Flipmode V2 Build Log & Review
The Supafly Flipmode mini quad frame has a slight resemblance to the ImpulseRC Reverb and Rooster at first glance. I am pretty excited about the Supafly Flipmode. It has a beautiful design, packs with features I want and yet it’s priced moderately at only £60 (US$80)!
