This is my own frame/canopy design, cf was cut by Armattan Productions, tpu is sainsmart.
The frame is a slightly stretched X 230mm, arms are 6x10mm, base plate is 6mm.
I don't like the random consequences of arm breaks, so on this design the arm bolts are the weak point, one of the two 12.9 tensile bolts generally breaks and the arm is designed to swing round harmlessly without pulling on the motor wires or esc pads.
Could save 10g by using 5mm cf and at least 10g on the tpu, but I am more interested in durability than weight these days.

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..
