Merica 5

Catalyst Machine Works Merica 5"
I've heard only good things about this frame and wanted to try it out, so far its crazy strong. I usually buy spare arms and braces for my frames, but i dont think i'll need it for this one. I also wanted to keep it as light as possible so im using the newest Hyperlite 2205 lightweight motors (just changed it up to some T-motor F40's). If I really like this frame i'll build a 6s version next. I haven't had a chance to weigh it, i need a new scale, but it feels as light at my 236g build.
I just changed to some T-motor F40's, Runcam micro swift 2, Raceflight bolt esc, Raceflight revolt fc, and a tbs xf-race antenna. I also added some FuriousFPV rgb leds to the back arms.

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
