My second build and another goofy compound word, this time including the frame name.

This time the process is just a little bit more thought out. I wanted something fairly simple that was compact and a bit more sturdy than my first bind and fly from TCMMRC...with which I already swapped three broken arms.

I was looking for something easy, which is why I went with the speedy bee stack and also a VTx that could do 800mw. This is mainly going to be for freestyle at my local office Park after business hours, which is also why I picked a camera that could deal with low light conditions, and again, my budget is keeping me in the analog world.

I think I stayed well under $200 again for this, and then when I had the parts, I decided to paint the frame... again, because I just like paint and popping colors.

December2023 update --> haven't been flying this frame mainly due to not really enjoying the speedy bee video transmitter. I recently did build a vista project that didn't turn out the way I expected it to either though and and now I'm thinking to just swap the video systems...so I'd have another 5 inch with dji... maybe something more sturdy too, as I'm still thinking this is a pretty good frame, maybe one of the best for freestyle.

Ok, late December 2023 update --> just converted this rig to Vista. Going for a quick rip session, let's see how she flies.

Flies great! The gate breaker props make a difference and seem to deliver a bit more thrust. The true X geometry feels nice even with the COG slightly towards the back it's an easy frame to pickup speed with.

Gotta say, the video makes such a huge difference, it's a very enjoyable rig at this point.
