Not bad....

Feb 19, 2020

Got the frame kit on cyber sale so price was no issue. Kit had the updated thrust bearing (good!). Minor issue with CF tubes too tight but either sanding the tubes or the aluminum clamps remedied this issue. The carbon fibre is excellent quality overall. The only major issue was the servo linkage system, looking at forums and as well my own opinion as a machinist pointed out the linkage and servo adapter are too flimsy and need a different system using 3mm instead of 1.5 mm pushrods.

I got this tricopter kit last week and I just built the frame last night. The parts snug well together only few parts needed some minor sanding in order to fit together. The directions are simple and intuitive, but not detailed (i.e. you need to have some experience). I will try to put the motors and the electronics as soon as I get a chance and will give you an update later.

I purchased this frame telling myself it would worth 80 for a complete kit, and that carbon fiber and aluminum would be durable.
It is, durable. But de finition quality is questionable regarding to all the ajustements I had to do myself to make pieces matching together.

The yaw mechanism isn't the best but isn't the worse either. It does the job as long as you don't try to change servo to many times.

Despite all of this, it offers plenty of space and -this- is very very nice. I was able to mount everything on without having to try to save space everywhere.

this was my first frame for my first DIY build. It did the job but 80 is too damn much for this quality.

Comes in an oversized box. But the carbon parts are extremely well packaged, each item is wrapped in plastic sheet which prevents it from getting scratched. Very nicely made frame.

Frame itself it easy to bulild but had big problems getting the spring in. Until i turned the sheet over and tells you the easyway of doing it. Also the motor mounts have countersunk hole. but acording to the insctrictions these holes are at the top where the motor sits, so it looks like they have put the countersunk on the wrong side.
