Let's wait and see how many people can do more than a couple of flights without that thin bit of carbon in the middle of the "F" going AWOL Whistling Big Grin

LOLLLLL!!!!!!!!!  Why you gotta ruin it Snow???   Cry Cry ROFL ROFL

I was comparing it to the Apex and it's got about 10 grams on it and 0.5mm thinner arms.

Yeah, I was thinking that, but I don't think it's a cutout. The angles aren't right. I reckon that's some kind of stick-on mirrored stuff.

The ground is for dead people.

Looks like a Mylar decal. Should be looking at the lower inside compression plate if that were a cutout.

Well spotted. I did think the thickness of that carbon looked a bit thin, thus my comment Big Grin Now it's clear that it's just a sticker. Where is the fun in that? Big Grin

They also have a BnF out too. 6mm arms? Those arms look very similar to the SL5/XL5 nazgul/cidora arms. Which are i4mm and nherently weak at the screw hole. If you look at where the hole is on the arm, look on the sides of the hole. That is all carbon protecting you from a crash which is next to nothing. Only reason I don't break the frames is as don't crash much anymore and I know how to recover extremely well. They made the arms thicker in the Titan frame, 6mm. The arms in the t motor look to be 5mm and have the same potential weakness the sl5/xl5 iflight frames have. Apex frame and kabobfpvs hammer frames beef up that area.

nothing wrong with 4mm arms for 5inch, if they brake to easy the uaw of the craft is wrong for the fram.

The arm is 5mm thick and the central support is definitely not as strong as Impulserc Apex. I can flex it a bit with some force. The top plate design is quite nifty. Wonder if it will catch on.

This is spur of the moment buy/build with mostly reused parts from other quads and it will be more of a cinematic cruiser quad. A bit overweight with the Hero 7 (549g sans battey ) for fast acro. Hope to maiden it when the rain clears.

Next to my Apex with Caddx Vista.

My error in my last post. Meant to say not as strong as Apex. It's obvious when you look at the central plate design compared to the Apex. Edited my post.
