So I decided to switch from a 6" prop frame to a 5" prop frame cause I felt like the 6" felt a little to floaty and didn't handle turns to well (or I could just be my inability to fly). so instead of jumping right in and buy an expensive frame I decided to try a clone first. but I have to say I am really impressed with this frame. but here is a list of my build. obviously it's a TC-R220 frame, DYS RE2205 2300kv Motors, DYS XM20 esc, sp racing FC running Betaflight 2.9.0

Looking good Jimmy

I used round pin headers and sockets for the osd which fits right on top. which really helps with eliminating the wires. and we all know how we feel about wire management. 

some LOS tuning with crash at the end. (I meant to do that)... testing out Dal Props lol. they really do hold up. yah right I got carried away. lol 

Low flips over concrete - I like it! (Bal...I mean Nerves of Steel!)

lol I know right? what's funny is there a whole patch of dirt right there. I learned how to do flips LOS so I'm pretty comfortable doing them. just no more trying power loops 

haha nice power loop, don't worry mini quad are made to crash with the DAL Prop i wouldn't worry about it at all

haha thanks bro, I was almost able to recover it but probably would've taken out my coworker that was filming. and I'm loving these V2 Dal Props, really handles a crash well.

I was loving this frame, until my 3rd crash (into long grass), and the back of the lower plate snapped. My friend also had this happen and had warned me.

How's yours holding out?

Mine had cracked after a day of some though crashes. it cracked right at the hole for the vtx antenna. all I did was drill another hole for it further into the plate. I'm pretty sure if I crash hard enough the plate is going to crack in the middle so I'm going to see if the qav-r top plate fits on it.

qav-r top plate hole spacing dims, width 29.35mm, front to mid, 42mm, front to rear, 127.75mm. Mid to rear, 86mm. Hope this helps

thanks for the demensions, I'll check it later with the caliper and see

Hey JimmyLe813, what's that green thing around the XT60 plug?  Is that something I can buy because it looks like an awesome way to secure an XT60 to a frame.

it's a xt60 holder, it was given to me by Trollhammered one day when we were out flying. the top plate had cut into my power leads after a crash and was causing them to short. he happened to have one on hand (luckily for me). but I think he makes them himself on his 3D printer. I'm pretty sure if you ask him he'll send you the file for it.

Thanks! Sadly I have no access to a 3D printer so it wouldn't do me any good.
