Pretty sure he has a modified version of this frame: https://rotorbuilds.com/build/10627 or http://www.carbix.se/product.html/carbix-zero?category_id=46
Designed one for the heck of it: https://armattanproductions.com/pages/kit_detail/2119
I might actually get around to buying one after building my next quad.
This frame is definitely something different! Please post your impressions once you take it for a flight.
For racing I'm keeping it as light as I can to avoid destroying frames constantly. I'm flying a 2mm 5" version of the frame. The components I'm using are Hyperlite 2205 2522kv, a Bardwell V2 fc, and the racerstar/rcharlance 35a 6s esc (awesome cheap esc btw). I fly it with 1300's bottom mounted with the stack built on top of the frame like you see here. The frame itself is surprisingly configurable (can use any battery orientation you want) so I don't use the carbon fiber battery cage pieces. The 2mm version of the frame is quite strong for what it is, but don't expect it to hold up like a Rooster. I take two identical quads to race because I almost always end up breaking an arm. Arms are cheap though, and In my opinion well worth the huge advantage this frame gives you.
I wish I was on your lvl man, I love to build so much, but don't have the funds. I have been flying the 2016 eachine wizard for 2 years now. Of course its barely a wizard anymore, but the 20amp esc's and 2205 2300kv motors are still there. I often wonder if high dollar motors make a difference, i'm running gatebreakers and this thing goes pretty fast. I live in AL so i'm kind of on my own, but I fly everyday. I usually get 5 packs a day, but sometimes 8 or 10. I watch a lot of youtube videos, and what i'm doing isn't that different from what I see. I don't mean the 6s bi-blade top speed runs mind you, but as far as freestyle goes I have nearly as much power as high end rigs, and plenty of control. I bet you have an encyclopedic knowledge of the components in the market, you seem to use all of them at some point or another. If you could only afford 1 drone for the next 2 years, what motors would you put on it?
I've been thinking about this. please upoload more photos!!!
How do you mount the battery? Can I use F4 FC?
I admire this: "my "workshop" Is also my bedroom floor". Adverse conditions bring out creativity and resourcefulness; it creates an in depth connection to the problem at hand that $ and computers cannot replicate. Among the small 5' x 6' corner workshop in my apartment you'll find a coping saw, files, sandpaper, electical tape, and Easter eggs - not exactly high tech.
I am following this build but using RSII 2306-2400kv motors and R-SXR receiver, should I go with the 5 or 6" frame and props for longest flight time? not looking to fpv race, though agility/punch/speed could still be nice
Coming from a babyhawk-r on 3s, which I think is more speed/agility than I really can utilize most places I can fly
would this be a good beginner freestyle drone? I wanna build a freestyle drone and i'm looking for a good first one that would support my gopro hero session
Cool, very tricky frame to build - got a link to that cam mount?
what pids are u using? ive got the same parts just bigger antenna tried tune quad but still get quite a bit of jello on the footage.
I wanna ask aobut what bats you use and how long of a flight time because im planning to do a similar build. We have the same frame, mines a 1106 5500kv, spedix is100 w/ 20a esc. You think itll be effecient? Any Advice?
Flying it on Turnigy Nano.tech 450mah 3s from Hobbyking. Gives me a bit more than 2 mins agressive flying.
thankss! umm one last question, did you drill holes to ziptie that xt30 or is the frame like that already?
Yes I did. The frame is not all that cool imo. The standoffs are non-standard size (they're very small), and the holes for the bolts are similar non-standard. Had to drill them wider, almost breaking the frame. I would pick another frame really.
thanks for the heads up! i already bought a frame tho...buttt since you got to tell me some bad parts about it i can probs mod it a bit. Anything else i need to know in advance for the frame? THANKSS!!
If you wanna use standard hardware, drill out the holes suuuuuuper carefully. Other than that it's a great frame!
From the pics it looks like you've got M3 screws on the frame. Do you think you'd have to drill it out for M2 screws?
