Just wanted to let you know my experience with this new frame i received as preview, build in Italy from a company of the same area of ZeeZ. Well it totally changed my racing experience and i'd raccomend you to try it if you do racing. I'd love to hear your opinions too. It's so light, super compact and small and it holds the line so well... the claim says "it like flying on simulator" and it's true, i never felt a 5inch answering so well to the stick. I loved smart solutions on the canopy to hold the rx antenna and to protect vtx... i've been flying this since 1 month and honestly it's a step in the future for racing, at least in my honest opinion. Let me know if you try it what's your feeling. https://www.finzfpv.com ![[-]](https://intofpv.com/images/collapse.png) • Posts: 6,111 Threads: 172 Likes Received: 2,285 in 1,832 posts Likes Given: 4,735 Joined: Feb 2019 Reputation: 100 seems close to a source v : https://www.team-blacksheep.com/products/prod:source_v i like the idea of vertical, but its not good for practice in terms of repairability by the arm mounts. i have a vertical quadstardrone arx frame, but not for racing. vertical get hyped sometimes, like on rails and there is a story that "vertical provides grip in corners like wings" xD but i dont believe at all in this crazy theory xD a tiny benefit of vertical is stiffness and a low surface. "like a simulator" why to fly than xD i look at it the oppside: a simulator can come close to the truth :-) i dont see vertical for racing with all arm mounts i saw actual. in terms of best performance on a 5inch racer, a "simple" tbs stardust unibody frame outperforms vertical or splitarm frames in durability and performance. • Posts: 166 Threads: 33 Likes Received: 5 in 4 posts Likes Given: 39 Joined: Oct 2019 Reputation: 0 10-Jun-2021, 04:01 PM (This post was last modified: 10-Jun-2021, 04:09 PM by Enrico79.) Seems* but source V is ways bigger and heavier. I tried that too time ago, but this is a total different feeling due to the fact is 190mm only true-x. "Like simulator" they intend it holds the lines without particular drift i think... and it's kinda true as far as i could try it. Dunno how to explain but it feels perfectly balanced in the center. Try this one mate i bet u'll change ur mind on vertical arms for racing. I was skeptical too.  I still have no DVR of my flights but i found this one on their website, this guy won the 1st stage of italian championship last saturday with it. • Posts: 6,111 Threads: 172 Likes Received: 2,285 in 1,832 posts Likes Given: 4,735 Joined: Feb 2019 Reputation: 100 10-Jun-2021, 04:08 PM (This post was last modified: 10-Jun-2021, 04:15 PM by hugnosed_bat.) the source v is declarated with 63g, its more lightweight than the fox v1 at 71g.
practice is important for racing, this is where i sortout vertical for my need. my arx is vertical and very stiff for the amount of carbon, 40g frame, aslong as i dont crash it it has a benefit about stiffness. in case of various crashes it turns from stiff to very loosen - to useless.
i dont know anyone racing with vertical in my area.
everyone should try out a vertical frame one time :-) but i wouldnt suggest it for racing. • Posts: 166 Threads: 33 Likes Received: 5 in 4 posts Likes Given: 39 Joined: Oct 2019 Reputation: 0 10-Jun-2021, 04:47 PM (This post was last modified: 10-Jun-2021, 04:50 PM by Enrico79.)

I see, here in Italy many are starting to use this frame after Frengo won the first stage of Italian championship with this frame leaving the 2nd 0.5 sec behind each lap : btw source v is 63g only frame, where Fox is 59g : not a big difference altho , but 71g is with tpu. Overall i got a 267g weight incluiding props and of course excluding battery. But the real difference to me is the wheelbase of 190mm which makes it so reactive and fast, a total different feeling compared to 220mm of the source V • Posts: 6,111 Threads: 172 Likes Received: 2,285 in 1,832 posts Likes Given: 4,735 Joined: Feb 2019 Reputation: 100 i call this good marketing :-) but did he went such a good pilot on a vertical frame? would be the question about practice. he might not be a slow pilot o a different frame xD
the source is 63g and still has a top, but there is not much difference.
i like as small wingspan as possible, 190mm is nice.
assuming you like it and you know a top pilot using it.
it would need crashes and decreased laptimes by yourself in comparison to another would be needed to provide a truly proofen suggestion.
i would like to hear it holds up un several crashes and is repairable, but i cant believe in that. • Posts: 166 Threads: 33 Likes Received: 5 in 4 posts Likes Given: 39 Joined: Oct 2019 Reputation: 0 10-Jun-2021, 07:07 PM (This post was last modified: 10-Jun-2021, 07:08 PM by Enrico79.)

Thee top pilot is Frengo and the results of the race are public on italian championship website, all i can say is that the probably 2 best italian racer switched from a famous normal x frame for racing (i won't say the name because it's not nice) to this Fox frame. There must be a reason  I'm not as good as them at racing, but i feel now i have so much more control compared to my old racers (which was a 210mm strached-x frame)... I don't earn money on sells of this frame , just wanted to share it with you • |
