I have grown to like the low CoG frames like the Chameleon, Rooster and Stingy so it was an easy decision to try this frame as the price was very affordable. Time will tell if it holds up but thus far I am impressed with its quality.

hows the frame I've seen some pretty nasty reviews on it.

So far I haven't had any major issues. I have beat the shit out of it, accidentally of course, and it has come out shining. No real damage, the carbon appears to be of a good quality and the build itself is really easy. For the price I would buy another with no apprehensions whatsoever. Now if I were to compare this to my Chameleon that's a different story, that is a high quality frame with a lifetime warranty, now the only reason I have a Chameleon is because I traded for it, I don't have $100 for a frame. I know people are gonna say that's just the price of a quality frame which may be right but I still can't afford that. I do recommend quality real components and parts but also you have to buy what you can afford.

RZFPV so far so good, haven't taken any bad crashes with it but believe me I have crashed and it has stood up to my punishment well.
