Beaver FPV gave me a Detroit Multirotors WP17 Prototype to build and give feedback on.

Overall I think this frame is amazing in performance but a bit tricky to build unless you go with a full AIO FC that incorporates a PDB and everything in one package. Separate VTX and receiver are totally fine but you don't want to deal with a big stack. Space is at a premium on this frame.

The flight performance however is quite impressive. It felt well planted and took corners very well with the stock Betaflight 3.0.1 PID's and my own rates.

I will be updating this periodically as I get more of a chance to test the frame!

For now I will leave you with this awesome maiden video! -

What is dimension between front to back motors and left to right? Would like a comparison to my DMR stretch frame.

Front motors are roughly 142mm apart and front-back motors are about 155mm aparts. I don't have a precise instrument on me right now sorry =S

What is that cylindrical thing in the back?
