Optimo-3
By Jimmy2Fast4U on Oct 07, 2020
3" 3s is what I fly all the time, so I wanted this design to be perfect, Following the pricipals learnt from the 65mm version, I have gradually refined this Optimo-3 design over the last year, the latest V1.3 is as close to perfect as I think I can get? Using this frame it is possible to build a 3" with 1204 or 1303 weighing around 50g + depending on parts used, the build is strong and reliable but as lightweight as possible. I use Nylon screws for FC, Aluminium screws for Frame, Titanium screws for motors/Props.

Very nice design!
If you use a cam with a longer lens, would it remain protected?
And can you please show a bottom plate? I'd like to see how you attach the vertical braces 😇
Hi, I really like your design :) Is it opensource or are you selling it somewhere? I'm currently flying my TP65 with 3d printed canopy and the canopy is what I don't like. So for my next build which will be definitely 3 inch I'm looking for frame made completely from Carbon. I found AIRBLADE EX ULTRALIGHT, but it is bit expensive to send it to Europe.
Hi, where are you based? and how/where would you get a frame cut? I get mine cut from CNC madness (canada) and sent to UK, CNC-Mad are quite well priced for what they do, but it still works out more expensive than buying something ready made which is more mass produced. I've had to source the stand offs and various lightweight screws, custom stuff gets pricey. Originally I was using 12A 25.5mm x 25.5mm whoop boards, but my latest version is slightly bigger to fit the larger 26.5 x 26.5mm boards with side USB. I have a couple of the older frames on eBay which only fit the older style FC, otherwise if I get anymore of the newer one made I'll message you before hand? but not planning to order more in the near future as I've only recently got my stock

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..

Where can i buy that frame? it is so sickkkk!
I only usually only make them for myself, I just received a batch of the final V2.0 version a few days ago. I did make one extra set for a guy who wanted one, if he doesn't come back to me at the end of this week to arrange payment then I'll message you back and you might be in luck
awesome!
hi Ben, where are you based?

hi Ben, I'm from UK.
I'm guessing you're in the states but I don't know a dial code for your number?
