Turbobee X

Light, fast and focused on an intense FPV experience is accomplished by supporting a full size Ratel in a lightweight 120rs Turbobee frame. A custom camera mount holds the oversize Ratel while allowing clearance for the Gemfan 3018 props. The 1202.5 6000kv motors are extremely efficient with excellent torque. Full acro flights approach 8 minutes. Replacement of the stock tpu canopy with a custom printed top plate lowers the overall weight, directs the rx antennas and improves the airflow around the stack. Items not shown include a copper emf noise shield under the vtx and 20mm nylon screws for the stack. Thanks for looking.

thats sexy... hows it up in the air?

Vulcan Jun 02, 2020

On 3s 450 It feels sharp with alot of thrust from zero to half throttle. The image quality from the full size Ratel is top notch and the 1202.5 motors are so short in height it keeps the majority of prop in the lowest part of the view. Both factors make it an excellent machine for sprinting/cornering around the trees in my neighborhood in a racing flight style.
However if I take it out to a wide open playing field where theres alot of airspace it feels like it needs more punch on the top end. ✌
