Phoenix Flight Gear Carbon Fiber 200QX Folding Mini-H Frame

Description:
Take your 200QX and shave grams off the weight of your stock frame and keep the electronic cool. This new 3k twill weave solid carbon fiber frame we designed to fold into an even smaller form factor for storage and transport. After designing the Carbon Fiber 200QX Mini H Frame we turned it into a folder that is also lighter, faster, fly longer and removes the restrictive battery compartment of the stock frame. Even with reformatting to fold we were able to retain a frame design that will fit into the cases available for the stock 200QX with little to no modification to the case foam. These mods allow you to take your 200QX to the next level.

As always, durability is a crucial component of the frame design. After experiencing tragic failure of the stock 200QX frame on a very early flight we first wanted to get more aggressive in our flights and the stock frame just didn’t seem up to the task. The motors mount to the arms with the stock acorn nut and a woven carbon fiber spacer to keep weight down and keep that clean carbon fiber look. Mounting points on the arms allow for three types of landing gear. The included standoff landing gear or RcLogger Xtreme EyeOne landing gear, both the 38mm and 79mm landing legs will work.

Reducing weight over the stock monocoque style shell was easy, 1.5mm carbon fiber central frame and 2.0mm carbon fiber for stronger arms and material removed from the central frame both lighten the frame and improve airflow on your 4-in-1 ESC board. Reducing the overall wind profile of the craft is another great benefit of this folding frame, providing faster forward flight less affected by crosswinds. Airflow improvements have greatly helped in our high stress acro flights of the CarbonGear 200QX Frame and turn a stock mini quad into the high performance Folding Carbon Fiber 200QX.

Longer flights have also been made possible through lightening and the elimination of the battery compartment allowing for the installation of any 800-1500 2 cell battery with a JST connector. Battery consumption is much lower with all of the bulky plastic frame gone, less motor power is required to perform arial maneuvers reducing current draw on the FET’s. With the the stock canopy frame removed we found that the ESC board runs around 50 degrees cooler, even during high current draw sport flight.

For FPV or aerial photography buffs out there we have created the optional board cam mounting plate. (sold separately) Screw on the top mount accessory plate and mount your VTX up top or, use the platform off the back of the frame to mount your electronics. With the drastic weight reduction over the stock frame adding some lightweight FPV gear won’t overload your quad. If you want to film your flight many of the action cameras available will mount right under the nose and the slots in the central frame will allow for many mounting tie points. We mounted our Mobius under and were able to film prop free video.

The conversion process is simple and requires basic hobby skills with minimal tools. The 200QX frame splits apart and all of the internal electronics are held and mounted with 8 #0 phillips screws and the motors have just a acorn nut holding them in place. No soldering, lengthening of motor wires or advanced skill is needed, the entire process takes 45-60 minuets to complete.
