Red'n'Green FlosStyle

This is my try at the new and popular Flosstyle by Kabapfpv. The frame is of great quality and despite being quite low in height and therefore tighter than most other freestyle frames, it facilitates a very clean build when choosing the right components. The overall design of the frame is very clever and makes the build process rather easy. Since there is no Foxeer Box mount in the style of the popular Brain3D mounts, I designed one and it works out quite well. All credit here goes to the folks over at Brain3D, who gave me their blessing to publish the 3D-Design.

UPDATE1: Switched Motors for new iFlight Xing x2207 2400kv....awesome motors!

hi there, do you happen to k ow where I could get two of these foxeer box cam mounts? just got two 6" flosstyle frames and I've found a print file for one but don't have or no anyone with a printer. does any of the FPV sites sell one that you know of?

thanks for your help, appreciate your time.

Hi,
it's good to hear that you like my mount. Depending on where you live you can try a commercial printing service such as brain3d or phx-3d.com or a community services like 3dhubs. Just let it be printed in TPU with at least 50% infill.

i could also ship you the one. PM me if interested.

able to post more pics of your fc wiring.

in about a week, I will be. But you can ask her what you need to know.

How do you like the OmniXNT F7? Waiting for mine to come in the mail.

q-ratz   Jun 20, 2018 

So far it has been working perfectly. I really like the pinlayout and the softmounted gyro, which enables me to mount the board hard and very tight. right now I'm running bf3.4 0rc1 in 32/16k, which feels smooth while the CPU is running at about 20% load. unfortunately, there still is an F7-related bug in 3.4.0 which makes the CPU run at 100% when switching the pid loop to 32k.

Thanks man.
I will be building mine soon, so I may have some questions for you. Stay in touch.

q-ratz   Jun 20, 2018 

Sure, man. Glad to help.

how are those dragone fly motors?

q-ratz   May 25, 2018 

so far I've only had time to put round about 15 packs through them. very good top and bottom end so far. very much comparable to the brotherhobby r3 2207. However the brotherhobby look nicer and are really durable.  So far I haven't had any hard crashes, so I can't really argue about durability here.

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..
