This is my first 5 inch build. The frame I bought off Amazon. The carbon is great but the hardware sucks. Screw heads don't fit the tools very well at all. The heads strip out, the threads strip out and the screw heads can break off pretty easily. This is the only 5 inch I've ever flown so I have nothing to compare it to, but I really like this quad. Since I built this, I rarely ever fly anything else. This started life as an analog quad using a Rush Tank Solo VTX and a Foxeer T-Rex camera. It is now digital with a Caddx Nebula V2.
