Introducing The Rising Sun FPV JÖRMUNGANDR- MIDGARD SERPENT Xclass Frame
In Norse mythology, Jörmungandr, also known as the Midgard Serpent or World Serpent, is a sea serpent, the middle child of Loki and the giantess Angrboða. According to the Prose Edda, Odin took Loki's three children by Angrboða—the wolf Fenrir, Hel, and Jörmungandr—and tossed Jörmungandr into the great ocean that encircles Midgard. The serpent grew so large that it was able to surround the Earth and grasp its own tail. As a result, it received the name of World Serpent. When it releases its tail, Ragnarök will begin.
The Jörmungandr brings some very inovative design elemates to a True-X Xclass frame it has a distance of 808mm motor to motor,
3mm CF top and bottom frame plates utilising an Isogrid cutting technique keeping the weight of the plates down with no reduction to the strength of the plate.
A removable/hingeable roll cage allowing you to work on your electronics with ease, 3d printed FPV Cam Mount allowing up to 75 Degrees of camera tilt
The roll cage has CF mounting plate inside the structure wich has both 20mm x 20mm and 30mm x 30mm mounting hole allowing you to install either the Caddx digital systems or the DJI airunit digital systems with full access to the usb and sd card slot on the airunit, in addition to that you have 2 options for mounting the fc you can mount it on the mounting plate inside the roll cage upside down or alternatively you can mount it ontop of the PDB.
The PDB and FC are fixed from the top downward with m3 screws into pre-installed press nuts in the CF top plate so you no longer have to use m3 nuts in combinantion with a screw to hold down your Stack.
ESC mounting has a plate and cushion mounting system designed for APD ESC's that uses mechanical fixings, doing away with the traditional ziptie mounting sytem....
The cushion sits underneath the esc ontop of the CF Top PLate witch has press nuts in it for the CF ESC Plate to be fixed to.
A PDB cushion is avalable to elimanate soldier drip from contacting the carbon top plate.
Arm Mounting has been simplified with a through arm motor mounting system no more worrying about clamps , they 25mm tall x 25mm wide x 1.6mm thick arms
which are slotted and mitered on one end to go around the pdb/fc mounting press nuts,
all 4 arms mesh together in the centre of the frame eliminating arm wobble
this system allows the frame to not have to be completly disasembled to change out arms,
Motor Mounting has also been simplified with a CF motor mounting plate that has 2 press nuts mounted to the top side you mount the motor to the plate first than use a supplied CF spacer to space the mounting plate up off the motor screws and through bolt through the cf bottom motor mounting plate on to the arm.
the motor mounting plate is designed to break away on an impact giving you the best chance of not damaging your motor.
Bottom mount Lipo system with 2 options 1 for 6s and 1 for 12s
A Full range of 3d printed parts are available including gopro hero 8/9 naked and hero 5/6/7 mounts

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..
