Good Frame for the price

Sufficient for a molded fiberglass frame. Free Advice: Don't try gluing broken parts, they wont hold no matter what you use. New pilots (like myself) should get carbon fiber frames. The durability is worth the added cost - the lighter weight/greater performance is a perk.

These are NOT strong frames. And (obviously) its all one piece. If you crack an arm you gotta rebuild the whole drone. Glue only lasts an hour or so then your motor flies away with the broken arm, lol. I've done it twice now, and it just seems like a massive waste of parts. The recent crack I have is in the Velcro strap slot, and I'm thinking its due to a bad molding of the plastic (its tweaked and any sort of rough landing will release the pressure in the frame). But the REALLY bad thing is that these are the OLD version, the new version has better Velcro strap holders on the side.

Great little frame for being crafty, I've been having fun with this frame. I'm using Turnigy 1806-2280kv Emax Motor Set Of 4 CW/CCW, Ultralite Afro 12A ESC's, HK Mini PDB, the HK Mini Flight Controller Mounting Base 30.5mm and Naze32 with right angle header pins. I broke a couple of the legs and designed some legs using zip ties, check out the legs in the Files section!

I love this frame. I do wish there were a little more ground clearance for the battery with the stock landing gear. Some additional cargo space in the front and rear web for FPV gear would be good too. Otherwise I am a big fan of the "unibody" construction .

Great frame for the price. I picked up two as I wanted one as a spare and ordered the longer frame kit from diatone on here. Makes mounting items pretty easy, however, I had to drill holes for mounting my Naze32 FC. One thing I really like about this frame is the durability in comparison to a fibreglass frame. My total rig with gear including battery 1400mah multistar is 425 grams.

I swapped my fpv 250 L over to this 260. Cage bolted on no problems. Huge improvement in speed, smoothness and stability. vid here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbNtCy60VKo.
Due to the arm angle there is not much more prop clearance than the 250. Well worth the upgrade
