This is my second 5" build. First Chameleon.

My first build was QAV-X with an underslung battery - https://rotorbuilds.com/build/5862

After hearing about the benefits of a top mounted battery and many people race on about the Chameleon, I knew this frame would be my second build.

I wanted a build with separate ESCs, so the new CL Racing F4 flight controller was a must. First, you can't beat the layout. Second, it's a fraction of the cost of other FC/pdb/OSD combos. And it has a built in buzzer!

I know the Chameleon isn't the lightest frame, but I wanted to pick light components to try and keep it as light as possible. At 320g dry and 569g AUW with a GoPro, I think I succeeded.

I chose the bottomless Hyperlight V4 2206 2522kv because they are about 2.5g lighter than most 2206s. I also wanted to concentrate the weight in the center of gravity, not out on the arms. I picked the tiny Emax bullet 30As for the same reasons. Titanium hardware helps shed a few grams.

The XSR is mounted to the bottom of the FC and wired for s.port telemetry. The Unify Pro HV is wired for smart audio.
