Or go the other way and spend alot on a Armattan frame with a lifetime guarantee :laughing:

This is great info, all the detail that I would have needed to know … once I knew it existed and I needed it … in one place.

Actually I wouldn’t.

My Armattan Frames are generally a pain to get things into. Well except for the Beaver… that one is a LOT better than previous ones. I’d go with a frame that is inexpensive and easy to get parts on for the start.

It is

Oh dear god… no…

Again I can hear Chris Rosser screaming in his nightmares.

It good. You just need to filter out the resonance

That is a gorgeous looking frame but would be like a flying guillotine in your hands Chris :scream: lol

ugh… better not to have it in the first place. That’s one thing carbon gives you… it tends to soak it up.

Steve, you are probably right. But if I aim it away from me, I’ll be fine.

What video system will you be going with Chris? If youre planning on using your DJI goggles make sure the frame you purchase is designed to take a Vista/AirUnit otherwise youll stuggle to fit the parts mate :+1:t2:

Fly, Crash, Bend, Repeat

Remember this… there is no such thing as an indestructible quad.

They will all break if you throw them fast enough at a wall or the ground.

There is however such a thing as an easy and cheap to repair quad. That Titanium one is not easy and cheap to repair.

Titanium cracks… I have a crack in the camera cage of one of my armattan quads. Luckily I have that lifetime warranty…

I’m settled on Stevie’s recommendation. It seems solid, thick arms and cheap enough. Sounds like a sensible choice for my first 5". And if I trash it, it’s not the end of the world. That will come when I purchase the Prometheus :man_shrugging:

Thats designed to take a Vista so perfect :+1:t2:

Its a titanium alloy. I’ve trashed mine and the arms are still going. Bend em back in a vice.
Mine is no longer available though. Real6 from realacc

Which is what I will go for. I have both DJI goggles, V2 and 2, so I am assuming I can use them. But also guessing it will involve rebinding each time I swap from this to the DJI FPV or Avata :thinking:

Hmmm it’s ok… I suppose… Inexpensive at the least.

Not sure about the choice of only 3 motor screw holes.

LOL to the ā€œNever fall offā€ comment… of course they will… everything can.

I don’t see any spare arms for sale… or for that matter any spares. So… if you do buy this, buy two.

I’d have thought you’d be better off with a TBS Source or an APEX?
