Overview

A 5-inch freestyle and racing FPV drone frame designed for PA12-CF. Single-piece unibody design; the full frame prints in one go including the integrated camera mount. Open triangular truss arms for weight savings and rigidity. True-X geometry with 220 mm motor-to-motor diagonal.

Arms use triangular lattice cutouts instead of solid fills. Motor mounts are built into the arm tips and accept 22xx–23xx class motors on a 16x16 mm pattern. Camera mount is integrated into the front of the frame with a fixed 25° tilt. Frame dry weight target under 95 g.

Stack mount is standard 30.5x30.5 mm with M3 pass-throughs. Battery sits on top, secured with a strap routed through integrated slots. No bolts required for frame assembly. The only hardware is for the electronics stack and motors.
