XAOS by Detroit Multirotor
By Rumblecloud on Aug 26, 2019
This is our newest 5-inch racing frame, XAOS. In this design, we've sandwiched the arms between the bottom and mid-plates and made those plates thicker for added strength and rigidity. We've had this model in the field all summer, incorporating our team pilot's suggestions as we went along until all were happy with the design. This is the result.
The XAOS weighs in at a respectable 69 grams naked. Adding the camera and antenna mounts, which come with the frame, kicks it up to 72 grams.
Notable specs:
- 69g
- 5mm arms
- 3.5mm mid-plate
- 3mm bottom plate
- 2mm top plate
- 25mm made-in-the-US aluminum stand-offs
- Includes camera and antenna mounts
As we usually do with our builds, this model is for sale at a reduced price yet to be decided. If you are interested check here. I hope to her listed by this afternoon. Thanks for your interest.

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class!

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..

I originally wanted to use a Caddix Turbo cam, but it seemed to be giving me video issues - not sure why. S I swapped it out for the RunCam Sparrow Pro.
