This was a build that one of my good friends Jonathan Ficklin (ImperiusFPV) made using the ApexQuadDesign Cypress frame that I designed. He did a fantastic job as it looks great and flies even better. This frame was purpose-built for being lightweight and extremely durable. It has the features that you would expect from any other premium frame, such as single screw arm removal, streched-X layout, 20x20 and 30x30 stack mounting, flush mounting screws, 5mm arms, and more; all while keeping it under 68 grams (including 3D prints). The Cypress uses unique screws for the bottom and top-plate. These are ultra-low wafer style M3 heat-tempered stainless steel screws. This combined with a 0.75mm CNC 3D pocketing operation allows for these screws to sit flush, with minimal to no impact on durability.
The build went very smooth and allowed for plenty of space for the stack. The build turned out very nice and the lightest in Jonathans fleet, coming in at a crazy 254 grams.
