Raggio pre-orders are live at Falcon Multirotors and shipping in mid-February!
Raggio is the king of long range. A 6 inch, 6 cell, Hero6 toting quad designed to be efficient and vibration free. No props in HD cam view, no jello in the HD, and plenty of room for mounting all your long range gear.
This build came together cleanly and everything just worked as soon as i powered it up, including the compass and GPS. Though the goal is to run iNav on this build for RTH functionality, the Kakute V2 does not yet have a target in iNav, so I have Betaflight on there for now. The OSD is configured to show all the relevant information; baro, speed, distance from home, heading, etc, so formation flying is a breeze.
With an all-the-way-up-weight of 793g, it's lighter than you think, and the 6S / 6" / 1600kV powertrain more than carries it through the air. Note that revisions are already in the works that bring the dry weight of the frame down to 150g from a around 180g.

How is the crossfire micro receiver v2 compatible with the FC if it doesn't support pwm receiver ?
Any flight times you'd like to share yet?
I got 5:30 on a 6S 1800mAh pack, which took me a round trip distance of about 2 miles at average cruising speeds of around 70 knots, with a bit of freestyle before/after/in the middle. This was on HQ 6x3x3 V1S props, and I'm sure I can squeeze more flight time out on the Gemfan Flash 6042 props i have here. I'll report back!
I really like how you have the TBS Immortal Antenna mounted to the GoPro mount. This is probably going to be common on future builds.
It looks like you mounted those ESCs with the heatsink down. I was thinking of doing that. No issues with heat dispersement?
Holy daimn 6mm, love the arm design too. Just awesome dude!
Its kinda cringy when you are actually selling a product to misweigh it by 230grams tho, maybe time to change the description?
Hey Lazd!
You’ve got a really nice setup going here! I just had a quick question:
You showed an AUW of 560 grams (which got me really interested in potentially ordering your frame!) but it seems to be off by 166.7 grams…
I’m seeing a weight of 726.7 grams:
180g - Raggio Frame
5.0g - Holybro Katute FC
22g - (5.5gx4) SPEDIX 30A ES30 ESC HV 3-6S DSHOT 600 BLHELI_S
114g - (28.5g x 4) T-Motor F40 Pro V2 1600KV
22.4g- (5.6gx4) HQ 6x3x3 V1S (2CW+2CCW) PC
5.6g - RunCam Micro Swift
5.0g - TBS Unify Pro HV 5.8 GHz Video Transmitter
2.0g - Lumenier AXII U.FL 5.8GHz Antenna (RHCP)
3.3g - TBS CROSSFIRE MICRO RECEIVER V2
239g - Tattu R-Line 6S 1300mAh 95C Lipo
119g - GoPro Hero 6
3.4g - TBS CROSSFIRE IMMORTAL T ANTENNA
006g - MICRO UBLOX M8N GPS GLONASS W/ (18X18MM)
AUW= 726.7 Grams
So I was wondering how you were able to get your build weight down to 560g?
Thanks in advance!
Guides & Reviews
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..

With 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..

This is such a clean build. I am building one FOR SURE. Couple questions if you dont mind? Does the gopro mount that comes with the frame have the immortal grabbers? I am having a hard time finding dimensions for different gps's. The one I want to use seems too big for all the available mounts https://www.getfpv.com/holybro-micro-m8n-gps-module.html I found the thingverse link with 3d print links. Can you recommend someone to do the printing? I am planning on xing 2306 1700kv motors and I want to try both 6" and 7" props. 6s for sure. I allready ordered FC and 4in1 esc(bardwell). Going to order frame today.
Yes, it comes with the gopro mount with the immotal T holster. Contact brain3D and they will print anything!
