Armattan RaceSpec 210mm 5S Build & Review
#1
By visiting the store Armattan production, I came across an atypical frame design that immediately caught my attention because of its look, its design and its very different approach from what we can see right now or even General on the market!
The RACESPEC 210mm
Seehere for $ 71.30
The design is signedCiro Caputoand as the name suggests, it is a frame that is built for the race!
Designed to 5 inches, the uncompromising design is very minimalist, it consists of a unibody platform hand of a thickness of 4 mm has the originality of having a reinforcement in the front and rear that will an engine to another and the center for reinforcements, there is a place where the carbon is expanding and avoiding to create a point of weakness and rupture during the big crash and making the frame more rigid when assembled.

The central pod allowing the integration of other selected elements is composed of side plate of 2mm, a flat antenna of 1.5mm and a 1.5mm flat vtx also.
By cons on the model I received, the flat antenna is not perfectly adjusted and moves slightly when the frame assembly, I take the hot glue to not it vibrates once airborne.
It allows to mount a camera in standard format, integrating a vtx and rx no problem.
The tilt of the camera is really adjustable to the extreme.
The weight of the vacuum complete frame is 86 gr.
The hardware kit in aluminum for such spacer.

The components selected for the build:
Flight card: HGLRC F3V4 AIO PRO FULL AVAILABLE RIGHT HERE
Engine: Brother Hobby returner R3 2206-2600kv (4s-5s) AVAILABLE HERE
ESC: Little Bee Blheli S-30 amp 3-6s in multishot AVAILABLE HERE
Camera: Foxeer xat 600m Lens HS1177 2.5 AVAILABLE HERE
LED / BUZZER MATEK WS 2512B: AVAILABLE HERE
Propellers: Schubkraft 5 × 4.2 × 3 black AVAILABLE HERE
RX: FrSky xsr 2,4ghz 16 channels in SBUS AVAILABLE HERE
Lipo 5S: MRP 1300 MAH 65C AVAILABLE HERE
Antenna TBS Triumph available HERE

I chose a full AIO card just to make the lightest, here are a owner of the small round as it is well worth a visit even if it is not perfect (we will return to this point later).

This card eliminates a PDB, an OSD and a vtx which adds weight and makes the complicated wiring and multiple configurations, here everything is included.
Here are the specs:
  • PROCESSOR F3

  • VTX 40 CHANNELS 25-200-600MW

  • MW OSD

  • PDB

  • 3-6s

  • CURRENT SENSOR

  • BEC 5volts 3AMP

  • CLB 12 VOLT 3AMP

  • BUZZER

  • CONFIGURATION PORT FOR OSD

  • NO BUS SPI

  • MANAGES THE PPM / SBUS / Spektrum

  • XT60

  • LED SCREEN FOR THE CHOICE OF FREQUENCY

  • A PORT FOR ADDING A GPS

  • BLACKBOX OF 8MB
 
CABLE SCHEMATICS



 
ASSEMBLY OF THE FRAME AND COMPONENTS:

The installation and integration of components on the chassis are very simple, the flight map greatly simplify the operation.
By cons, we must take into account the passage of the ESC cables so that the pod comes to max out on the flat hand smoothly because it is fixed with 4 screws per side of the fixing of the CF .
By taking certain precautions, fit together flawlessly.
The camera fits perfectly in the pod, it is preferable to set above the UFL cable vtx before assembling the hand flat and the pod, we must do the same for the camera cable and RX that fits in the back of the pod was well sheltered.
These are the only cables to connect this card is simplified to the maximum.

The led Matek with the built-in buzzer fits perfectly on the frame looks like it is original when mounted.

The ESC are mounted on anti vibration silicone pad that serves as a buffer between the frame and the esc! you can find here
Here are some pictures of the frame completely assembled.
The weight in full flight orde without lipo is 304gr.







Configuration
The flight card comes with firmware 3.0 to firmware Betaflight is that of SPRACINGF3.
The OSD configuration operates without the first branch lipo.
PIDs can also be paid directly into the glasses.
Moreover, a Chrome app has just been updated to configure the OSD you can find it via this link

ports
The sérial rx is on UART 3 for the s-bus XSR

Configuration
I advise you not to use the fashion 4k / 4k because the card saturate hair with a CPU rate
30-40%, I had some flight problems (desync) just modifying 4k / 2k with a CPU rate - 15% no problem at this level without changing anything other.
It flies even better 4k / 2k!
Personally, I turn off the accelerometer, what I do not need stabilized mode and to save CPU load.

TUNING PID
I will share my PID, the frame works really well with.

Receiver
For owners of Taranis it is important to have good channels in 1000-1500-2000.

modes

tab BLACKBOX
Here you can see the 8MB available for recording flight data.
must be selected well (on-board dataflash chip) and also check blackbox on the configuration page.

Here are the settings I use esc with this configuration multishot.

MAIDEN IN 4S

Here you can see the OSD data displayed in the glasses without any configuration.
  • The hired flight mode

  • The current consumption in amps

  • The mah consumed for takeoff

  • The current voltage lipo

  • The flight time from takeoff

  • The position of the throttle stick
balance Sheet maiden in GREATMAX4s 1300mAh 65c filmed KEYCHAIN 16 V3, I must say it is not designed to base to receive a GoPro although I think it possible to put one on! The frame has an ultra healthy behavior in flight, PID settings have been super easy to do (lipos 3-4), it is very balanced, versatile next flight styles, engines are very reliable and consumer n ' is not excessive + - 100/120 amps peak. I had means of 3min30 flight times.

Wow Pimousse, compared to the photo they show on Armattan with the orange trim, your blue looks wicked Cool and the shape of those props... reminds me of Jessica Rabbit for some reason! Now I feel like Garth from Waynes World!
"You know when Bugs Bunny dressed up as Girl Bunny...?" Big Grin

For a maiden that was some brave flying so close to those bare trees, especially (after waiting a while, I guess?) for an Armattan frame!

I was watching the FPV image in the corner and wondering if you were using the Eachine goggles 2 you reviewed recently, and if so, how you connected a DVR?

Hi Mate,

Thank you. 

But Fatshak dom 2 was used for this.

Cheers
