After thoroughly testing the 3" and 4" versions of the Intrepid v2, it's time to build up the latest addition to the Intrepid line, the 7"!

As with the other versions of the v2, you can setup the top plate at 10/15/20mm build height and there is room for 2 stacks. The 7" (and 5") both support 20x20 and 30x30, the 30x30 mounts are slotted so you can adjust stack position forward and backwards. The camera cage fits a standard micro cam and there's a built in GoPro couch that easily fits a session with just a strap.

In this build, I decided to go with some exceptionally strong SunnySky 2207-1800kv motors as I got a great deal on them. My other 7" build is using 2207-1750kv and does 85mph on 4s, so why mess with a good formula? The stack is the Mamba F405 40A, which is very, very affordable and well featured. I love these, especially for the price.

The build is quick and easy. The included hardware works perfectly and the frame is fairly rigid. Mine is not the final revision, so some additional improvements derived from pilot feedback may have been done. Depending on your motor wire length, you may (likely) have to extend the motor wires on the front or rear motors to use with a 4in1. I tried a Tattu 4s 5200mah, it only overhangs the top plate slightly in the back. Most packs will fit without any issues. Dual strap slots keep it tight and secure.

Overall, I'd say I'm really impressed with this frame and I would recommend it for anyone looking for a solid 7" top mount frame for cruising, long range or even general acro. I know some folks aren't into big prop acro, but I love it.

I will update with finished pictures within the next few days, for now, I'll just provide a few 'in-progress shots'.
