FPVCycle Prototype 5" frame (batch 2). Built pretty much to Kabab's specs - nothing too fancy. AUW w/ battery and GoPro 8 is 744g.
Looks great. How does it fly? Ive been interested in that frame and those motors.
Honestly, better than anything I've ever flown! I've never had such good throttle control! I like to think I know a thing or two and have spec'd out a few builds before. What I've learned, though, is that getting something that feels right takes a ton of experimentation. Now, I'm happy to let someone else invest that time and money and just reap the rewards. Kabab's put a lot of effort into getting to this build and it shows!
Thats great. I know what you mean about experimentation. Ive got a really good feel for the basic parts that I like and use - cameras, vtx, antennas, props ect. Motors and frames are entirely different. Lots of variables there. I know what I like in terms of feel but not always sure how to get it that way. It is especially tough right now with supply issues. I want to try the Moongoat frame and this Proto V2 but neither have been in stock. Ive been settling for what I can get rather than what I want and it is just costing me extra $$ and subpar builds. Thanks for the feedback, i think that will give me the patience to wait it out.
What's durability like on the frame?
It's meant to be a balance between weight and performance. IMO the bottom plate is a bit thin for the arms. Arms are beefy and I never broke one, but I did crack the bottom plate where an arm attaches. Other than that it's been good!
