I want to design a super lightweight yet rigid 6-inch FPV frame. Inspired by Eyefly's designs, I believe utilizing materials like carbon tubes and 3D printed parts, which do not require CNC machining, is a very clever approach and the best way to enable everyone to enjoy a low-cost, high-performance FPV frame.
The frame utilizes lightweight 5mm carbon tubes and adopts a pre-stressed design to achieve sufficient rigidity. Through flight validation, this drone effectively suppresses low-throttle wobbles and exhibits no jello in the mid to high throttle range. With an 850mAh 6S LiPo, it achieves approximately 9 minutes of flight time, while with a 6S 5000mAh 21700 battery, the flight time can exceed 35 minutes. At 35% throttle, the cruising speed can be maintained at 50 km/h, making it well-suited for medium to long-distance flights.

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..
Read moreWith the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..

I like the tensioned tube integration. Would love some more info about the flight characteristics, and the tuning!
