Garagecrab is available at FPV HQ, PitchRollYaw, and FPV Aces NOW!

The brand new GarageCrab frame designed by the man himself Larry Davis (LAZD) from FalconMultirotors.com and myself. Larry did the frame and I worked on the pod design.

This is the pod version, a full carbon version will also be available with an example here http://rotorbuilds.com/build/3111

For the pod version, the goal was to keep as tight of a build possible, while keeping things light, strong, easy to work on, and protected.

Here's some video of it from the first race of the season for me.
