NewBeeDrone LionBee 3 Inch Long Range FPV Developer Kit (ELRS)

The NewBeeDrone LionBee is a 3-inch long-range micro that runs on a single 18650 Li-ion cell instead of a LiPo. NewBeeDrone's own tests give about 15 minutes of cruising or 20 minutes of hovering on a 3000mAh cell. It comes as a developer kit of parts for pilots who want to build, tune and experiment with their own efficient long-range micro, so plan to assemble it before the first flight.

Key features

• AT32F435 (288MHz) flight controller with built-in OSD, mounted on the battery chamber to resist vibration

• Integrated SPI ELRS 2.4GHz receiver and a temperature-controlled 25-800mW 5.8GHz VTX

• 4-in-1 AM32 5A ESC on a 32-bit MCU with full reverse-polarity protection

• Two modular 18650 battery chambers with a 0.5mm brass conduction path for high-discharge cells

• M10 GPS module with mount and cable for GPS Rescue and position on the OSD

You will need a high-performance 18650 cell (around 3000mAh for the quoted flight times), an ELRS 2.4GHz radio and analog 5.8GHz goggles. Always check cell polarity before you connect USB power, because reversed polarity can permanently damage the electronics.
