How To Build a 7" Long Range FPV Drone

4-Mile Mountain Flight:    • Mt.Adams Long Range FPV - 3.8 Mile Flight  

One note about flight time:
I was flying the 5200mah Li-Ion pack down to about 3v per cell and was seeing about 23:30 flights. With upgrade energy Li-Ions you can safely fly down to 2.7v per cell. This pushes flight time past the 25 minute mark!

Very excited to share this build with you guys. I don't fly much long range but now that I built this beast I can already tell long range is going to be one of my new favorite FPV pastimes.
