Phoenix Flight Gear Carbon Dragonfly HD 252mm Folding Mini-H FPV Frame

Description:
The multi platform mini FPV frame from Phoenix Flight Gear has arrived! Build this frame and mount your favorite motors, ESC’s and flight control on a new light weight heavy duty mini FPV platform. We have put this frame together to accommodate the popular options in motors, flight control and FPV gear. Comprised of high quality, light weight carbon fiber and, minimal hardware to conserve weight. Every gram saved on the frame means longer flight time so, we have reduced this frame down to its most basic elements while accommodating the many different build components. This frame will be the envy of your friends at the field, no bulky, drab, heavy glass composite materials, just unmistakable high gloss 3k twill weave carbon fiber.

Maintaining a light weight frame and improving rigidity and durability is an important aspect of this frame. We designed the C4-252 to be an ultralight frame with easy assembly and simple repair. This is the same C4-252 frame but only stronger, with the main frame cut from beefy 3.0mm solid carbon fiber. Because this frame is meant to handle a bit more abuse, we have swapped out the nylon screws with metal to strengthen the frame even further in case of accidental landings.

Reducing the complexity of building many mini FPV frames, we removed the redundant frame levels, multi part cages and, complicated, multi stage assembly. What this means is you get just what you need in a mini FPV multicopter. The wide open design and construction allows easy access to the many components that make up a FPV quad enabling easy in the field repairing or reconfiguring of the build as your components change and upgrade.

Our folding frame body and arms are both cut from 3.0mm 3k twill weave carbon fiber with a high gloss finish. The top cage is still cut from the same solid 1.0mm carbon fiber like the C4-252 for weight savings. The center section of the frame has multiple wire routing holes to utilize and tie to, battery strap slots and, flight controller mounting that will a    ccommodate most board style flight controllers with a 30x30 to 45x45mm mounting. Power distribution can sometimes get in the way of a clean build so we recommend using a Mini Power Distribution Board with Power Filter for VTX and Camera for both your flight and the FPV system reducing weight, simplifying the build and giving clean filtered power to your video transmission electronics. Reducing the overall weight of the build was also accomplished through the use of nylon hardware where possible, retaining steel hardware for the crucial arm mounting.

Two accessory plates/trays are available from Phoenix Flight Gear. Should you want more room to secure, mount or build up your frame purchase the C4-252 Accessory Mount Kit which includes one 1.0mm carbon fiber plate that can be mounted in front of or behind the FC. The C4-252 Flight Control Mount Kit can be installed over your power distribution board and can provide a surface mount for your flight controller or cover an open board to protect it.

Multiple motor mounting options have been thought of, the motor hole spacing has been slotted at 12-16mm spacing. This spacing will work with many of the mini motors out. Phoenix Flight Gear recommends powering with the RcTiger MN1806-14 motor. Securing all of the electronics involved with FPV has been worked into the design, the many slots cut throughout the frame serve two purposes, first to secure components to the frame and second to lighten the frame. Many prototypes have been cut and revisions made to ensure that the central frame is strong enough and light enough for FPV flight. The top cage has four SMA antenna holes to remotely locate your video tx antenna; two forward and two to the rear. Many strap slots and wire routing options are cut into the top cage should you want to mount your VTX, battery, antennas, etc...
