First i have to say THANk YOU STICKY RICE for the hard work you did designing this frame.
I hope you like it.
This is a prototype, Its still raw.I could not stop myself , after thinking along these lines for some tome , When i saw the original ,I just had to dust off the old printer and have a go.I instantly saw prospects and honestly my cad skills arent there yet. SO i RIPPED IT OFF lol.
As it stands i have only scailed up the original files to fit the arrow shafts i had.
the motor mount / heatsink / vibration damper , is a work in progress , it can be lighter and neater .
but so far its under 650g. with battery.
I was aiming for it to be big enough to run 4 , 5 ,6 and 7" props but the wires were too short for 7 , and i was not going add 10 mm to every motor wire. so 4 , 5 and 6 props. 4" would be for very specific sits, small parks tight pathways etc.
This is not meant to be a racer or a styler or a woper whooper or even a Spielburg,
It is still evolving. I hope to free myself from ever buying chinacarb again.
Braking an arm and just cutting another or smashing a motor mount and printing another really calls to me.
I live 550k from the closest fpv club and a 150k round trip to the next town , they have 3 horses!!!
What should i care its a bit porkey
Revisions and improvements.
Run motor wired inside arms.
Camera some twin cam setup when vendors get it right.
Lighter hardware on motor mounts.
2 part body and arm ends to clamp the rods rather than gluing in.
Add braces front and rear .
And a whole bunch of other stuff.
If Sticky Rice Isnt too insulted by what i have done to his baby i hope he comments.
CHEERS

The lizards (bobtails) were living where i wanted to build my house 17 years ago.
Hibernaiting under some old roofing iron, so i gently moved them for the winter, but they came back and shifted in, as if there was no house !!!! They own the place.

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..

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..
