FPVCycle Fouride Frame- Vista Compatible (Choose Size)

One of my favorites...

I love the way it flys... Super light... It's one of my favorites!

Great frame. I've built two of these.

I've built a second one after crashing the first into a lake. Both were using the 5" arms. I love how light and short this frame is, but that it still comfortably fits all of the electronics. You can even fit a 1000uf 35V capacitor between the Vista and the AIO if you remove the middle standoff. You can mount two of the vista screws upside down with the nuts on top so that they will perform a similar function as the removed standoff. It's also a good idea to put some plastic M2 nuts on the tip of the center arm screws since they stick up a little from the press nuts, so they won't damage the capacitor. I've mounted the vista on the front on my previous build and on the back on my latest one. I prefer the AIO on the back so you can route the battery lead through the back of the frame instead of the side. I've made a very short lead with the XT60 barely coming out of the frame, so I didn't even have to retain the battery cable like I do now underneath the battery strap. I didn't like how the motor wires hanged loose on the side of the vista, but on my latest build I've used a zip tie around the Vista and the bottom plate with the motor wires pressed on the side of the Vista, so now I am much more confident that they won't flap with the wind potentially causing vibrations in the AIO or being chopped by the props. I've also used a second ziptie to secure the motor wires to the bottom plate in the middle of the frame, which I could now do since I removed the middle standoff. Make sure you purchase the back TPU antenna mount with the frame, and the long 15cm Caddx antenna. I've tried using the short one with the side TPU antenna holder, but got very short range since I was using a big 6S battery that blocked the signal. I run this on 6S 1100mah. I used to have the 4S 23mm Short FPVCycle motors with a 70% motor output limit on my previous build, and could get a little over 12 min of cruising and about 5 min of very hard flying with long throttle punches on open fields and lakes. It turned out weighing 220g with the FPVCycle motors, plus 200g for the 6S batteries. It performed great.

I love this frame!

I started out on a 5", but I found I didn't fly it very often since it was so loud and powerful, I required more space for it. So I moved down to the 3.5" and that was ok, but lacked the throttle response. Then when I tried the 4" Fouride, I fell in love. I can fly this thing in my front yard and in much bigger areas with plenty of throttle response (using 23mm 3450 motors). I loaded up MouseFPV's tune and it flies like butter. This really is perfect for me.
