Backup 5" build. Main build is the chameleon but I found out having one 5" quad is never enough.

Great build, was waiting fro one with this frame. Should weight around 100g right? How do you like this frame and how does it compare with the chameleon? Does it has enough space for a session and a 1500 lipo on top?

Canarka Sep 14, 2017

Yeah frame was 100 grams on the button with all the included hardware. This frame has less space length wise for a build however it has a bit more height wise over the chameleon. Both builds easily fit my vibration dampeners with CL racing F4, RX taped to FC and VTX zip-tied to the top plate.

It has enough space for a session, in fact there will be a 3D printed one in the works that screws and straps down. I'll be moving my VTX antenna but soon as I do the battery can be top mounted as well. Frame feels sturdy enough for the battery and gopro to be on top without issue.

Your iflight frame has an extra carbon fiber piece attached to the back with vtx antenna mounted. Where can I purchase that piece? That piece did not come with my frame.
thx,PR

Hey, I got that off a different frame actually. Came off an x-bee frame that I had crashed to bits. Not sure where you could get just that.

FrSky X-Lite Teardown Guide

May 28, 2018

Before giving this a thorough review I thought I'd do a teardown to see what makes the Taranis X-Lite tick. Without getting into too much detail the X-Lite is a new FPV transmitter designed to be compact and ergonomic. It's shaped like a video game controller but has all of the functionality of a traditional transmitter like the Taranis Q X7 or the Taranis X9D. It features OpenTX and supports most..

Bannilite - How to build an FPV Racing Drone

May 24, 2018

The Bannilite was a collaborative effort between Luke Bannister, AKA BanniUK and Falcon Multirotors. The Bannilite features ample camera protection, easy arm replacements and weighs in at only 72g. It even includes a spare arm and camera mount. It's an excellent choice for FPV racing and doesn't break the bank. The goal of this build was to feature a number of modern FPV luxuries including easy..
