T-Motor FT5 5" Frame
#16
Well I can say the bottom/central plate is stronger than I thought but not the arm......It didn't last long. Dodgy

It was a stupid mistake on my part and it fell  120-150  ft from the sky onto some damp grass land.  Hope I can get a replacement arm easily.

Gal Kremer's review of the T-Motor FT5 Frame (part 1 of 3) below. It's interesting to see that people are already commenting under the video on the construction of the arms as being too weak, which we already know from jasperfpv's experience above. Unfortunately, as Gal mentions in the video, there are no spares available for purchase yet so until that happens you have no choice buy a complete new frame for spares, or try to do get by with a bodge repair.
