This is mostly used parts from other quads stuck in a new frame. I'd definitely pick different parts for a new build, as this was a bit tight getting everything together.
She is a bit goofy looking.

Think it will hold up to crashes with 1407s? Its much lighter than any other 4 inch frames I know of. I wish there was an option for the 3d printed canopy to extend further to protect the camera
Looks amazing! 139mm with 4 inch props? Thats insane. It looks like that could be setup pretty light if you wanted to. Just wondering though, Is there anything supporting the stack in a crash?

So i was looking into this frame and it looks like the production version is actually a little over 160mm. Thats how it fits 4 inch props.

I think 145mm is the bare minumum that ive seen for 4 inch props. Most 4 inch quads are 160-180
AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class!

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