3.5\" performance\u003cbr\u003eForget everything you know about frame design.\u003cbr\u003eThat’s what I did when this concept came to me (in a dream none the less lol, not even kidding here’s the doodle I scratched immediately after waking up)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis frame executes a simple idea in a variety of novel ways that all converge into a single purpose; uncompromised performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you already know, I only like to make stuff I wish existed; and this frame is exactly that; it might not be the most robust or easiest frame to assemble or repair, but man does it hauls 🍑.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI would rather get this out of the way immediately, if you’re not confident in your building skills or you’re thinking of going bando bashing with it, this isn’t for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, if you’re not one to shy away from a challenging build, and you want to push your flying to new levels, my guy do I have something for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can find all related Parts in our \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/pyrodrone.com\/collections\/fractal-x-bow-frame-and-parts-collection\"

pretensioned, interlocked arms.\u003cbr\u003eAt the heart of the concept, the arms make the center piece holding everything together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vertical arms induce little to no prop obstruction, making the frame exceptionally quiet, efficient and fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTry lowering the nose on a juicy flick to engage warp speed as the arms align with the airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis carbon fiber orientation also brings more rigidity to the frame than it has any right to be for 1.5mm thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pretension comes from tying the the tips with the motor plates, enabling remarkable motor vibration dampening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis enables running with extremely lean filtering, improving pidloop latency and connectedness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLastly the interlocking arms makes for a uniquely stable assembly without the need for numerous hardware and high clamping force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile leaving the center open for electronics, safely nested within the heart of the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg

center area of the arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile it does constitutes the major part of the assembly difficulty I mentioned earlier, it also makes for one of its strongest benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo get the sticking point out of the way first, what I meant by hard to build was really just that it will only fit up to 33x33mm boards, and stack up to 12mm height\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhich prevents a lot of current whoop AIOs to fit, but still leaves a few excellent options such as the HM CrazyF411 or the TBS Podracer AIO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd while leaving a fairly tight space to work with, the whole stack actually assembles out in the open to the top plate that can then be then be lowered whole into
