Back in Black ( Black Pearl Stretch )

In a pinch I was cruising Amazon looking for a new frame and happened to find the Black Pearl. I thought it was a really nice looking frame that comes with 5.5mm interchangeable arms and a HD camera mount that I opted not to use.

The DYS FC and 30 amp ESC combo allows for a nice tight stack and with a TPU camera mount I was able to drop the top a couple of mm more. I think everything turned out nice and I'm looking forward to trying out the Hobbywing 2205 motors on a stretch X frame.

That frame looks shockingly similar to the xjb 145, just bigger. Thats not a bad thing either!

UnderDawg   Jun 24, 2018 

Sure does. I've thought about buying the XJB frame just for that reason. This frame flies that well.

I dont doubt it! I had an xjb 145 for awhile. It flew really well for sure. Fast too, had to be about 90mph with stock setup.

What parts did you use to mount the camera? Nice build bt the way. Looks very well thought out and executed.

Thanks!! That's the Floss micro cam mount. I have a couple of other TPU mounts in the mail if that one doesn't work out.
