A very cool, futuristic looking, 3D printed quadcopter frame
I love this part of me being a creator and an influencer, where I can show you some amazing things created by other people. And today, the joy is double, because it is an extremely cool frame designed by a guy from Spain that goes under the nickname of Micrathene FPV. What it is? Well,…

Pirx Seven – The ultimate custom 7-inch FPV frame, part 1
Do you know this old saying “If you want something done right, do it yourself”? I do and sometimes I just live according to it. Not always, I’m not crazy, but at least from time to time! I fly 7-inch FPV drones a lot. To be honest, they are my favorite flying devices. There are…

Your first 7-inch FPV drone
I love 7-inch FPV drones and during the last year, they were my most used FPV gear. For freestyle, cinematic, cruising and long-range. I currently own 3 7-inch FPV drones and 4th one in the assembly process. I think of myself as a 7-inch expert. I’ve wasted enough money and equipment to know what works…

3D printed racing drone, part 2
My 3D printed racing drone is done. More or less. I was able to finish it a few weeks ago and even perform a maiden flight. It survived the experience, but I also discovered few problems I will have to solve before officially calling this project a success. First of all, the decision about hard…

EXUAV Y120S drone racing frame: go home designer, you are drunk
Chinesium is amazing. Well, to be precise, not only chinesium manufacturers will do anything just to stand off a little. Just like this little (120mm) quadcopter frame called EXUAV Y120S. Why do I even bother to write about it? Simple: I love crazy designs. Just look at those pictures below: No, it’s not a tricopter.…

3D printed racing drone, part 1
I've been pretty busy last 2 weeks. Among other things, I've started to design 3D printed racing drone frame. I'm fully aware there are plenty designs available on Thingiverse, but almost all of them forgets that plastic filament is not carbon fiber laminate and what works well with carbon, will fail with filament. So, I…
