I used the insides of my TP3 https://rotorbuilds.com/build/29016 wich I hardly flew anymore, mainly due to the weird cam angle needed as the canopy sits higher than the prop line.
Always fancied the classic Tadpole frames from Armattan. So I ordered a Tadpole 2.5 frame, after assembly of the frame I found it super small, and did not think the aio inc naked vista would fit.
Yes, I know what you are thinking, should've got the HD frame. No! too heavy. Decided to order the Tadpole 3 frame non-hd, because, weight. The classic 3in frame vs the hd is 7gr difference!
When that frame came in I assembed it noticed the friggin body is identical to the 2.5inch which I kinda overlooked. F... it, I began the transplant. It all went pretty easy to be honest, clearances are very tight but it fits! I did not want to use spacers on the top/bottom plate to get away with cramming it all in there as many others have done. I think I might have build the lightest Tadpole 3 with a vista to date?!
The buzzer had to come although there isn't quite room for it I managed to find a spot for it. As it flew perfectly fine I am expecting it to be PnP when the rain decides to stop. I might do the same on the Tadpole 2.5 as it will be a exact same layout, maybehen summer is around the corner.

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..
