Part 2 of the journey to sub250 5" Freestyle FPV | The FRAME
Рет қаралды 46,921
Күн бұрынTelling my story about designing the best flying sub250 gram 5" freestyle frame. This one's for the freestylers that don't care for a gopro, where performance is all that matters. I got the motors down, and now it's time to figure out the frame.

@@ummagawdFPV you aren't wrong, I had the same thoughts when I watched it.. more to the "I wonder if he's getting his value in production back". There will be a middle ground, it won't be totally transparent but use the same theories you do with quad r&d for your value realization vs production cost exercise.
@stevenjkirby2020 3 жыл бұрын
Agreed. Having gone through a similar process designing a performance sub 250 3" cinewhoop or "cinepick" as I dubbed it, I can really relate to this type of content and the story and presentation, humour etc. rounds it all off nicely. Not to rub it in but I hit my design objective with about a gram to spare although sub 250 is less of a concern for me now since they changed the laws here in the UK and now even sub 250s have to be registered. :'( Also I wouldn't have been inspired to design the quad if it wasn't for your 85 and 95x naked builds. Keep up the engaging content.

@@gizzta I think the problem is the budget for the frame, it needs to be around 30g to have a reasonable battery. Also disk ratio is a factor. having very high weight to thrust ratio is not helpful if you do not have the weight density to cut through the air. As a matter of fact even 4” may be on the verge of too big for 250g.

Excellent video! You put so much effort in your videos. Really loving them. The 'ittle things usually add up quite a bit when you are doing a sub 250g build. I've done a few and I usually always budget the weight at about 235g or so from the 'known' parts. The wiring, standoffs, bolts, 3D printed camera mount, xt30 cable, zip ties, capacitor, lipo strap, small lipo anti-slip pads, ... all the knick knacks just add up in the end. Currently building something similar. 5" sub250g park flyer based on the BetaFPV 2004's. A custom single bottom plate 4inch thick frame totaling at about 27grams w/o standoffs etc. Target is to be able run with GNB 550mAh 6S (450mAh is hard to come by in Canada) and still be slightly under 250g.
