Deadcat HD/Digital 3" with 3S 5000KV 1303 Motors. Dry weight is @ 69.1G and I had Nick and CNCMadness help re-design the frames base plate so it now features a 'Unibody' design and is a couple grams lighter. Frame weight is coming in at about 11g fully built w/ 2mm base plate and about 13g fully built w/ 2.5mm base plate. You will have to strip your vista neked if you want to achieve a weight like mine otherwise you can certainly use a regular vista on your build which will put you at around the 80g weight mark. I used 23mm standoffs for the top plate which gives enough clearance above the vista that I feel pretty comfortable but if you want to be extra safe or use a cased vista you could get something in the 25-30mm range. Special thanks to LeDrone.Club this guy is one of my favorite frame designers and he releases all of his work for free and none of this would be possible without him.
Build Notes:
1) RX will have to go under the FC if you want to use a minimortal because the length of the antenna is too short to place it anywhere else.
2) You will probably have to get creative with how to space the stack out. I used a mixture of whoop grommets, nylon M2 spacers and M2x4mm nylon spacers
3) If youll be going naked watch out for contact between the two vista pcbs and the bottom vista pcb and the USB port on the flight controller
4) You could totally use a whoop AIO on this build too
Footage:
Maybe someday when Pyrodrone fulfills my V2 order

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..
Read moreWith 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..

Wow, a Pickle Evo 2 MK3 Unibody baseplate is exactly what I've been looking for. Is this something that you can provide the files for or CNCMadness can cut more of?
You can request the cutting of this frame on our store page cncdrones.com
Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for!
