Catalyst Machinworks Smooth Operator HD (DJI FPV)

cults3d

The Catalyst Machinworks Smooth Operator is a beautyfull and stong frame. But it have been design just before the DJI FPV System apear. With only 13mm of height to install the Electronic there was no room to install a AirUnit (or even a Caddx Vista...). I have been force to buy an other frame and it was really painful to Leave the SmoothOperator on the wall. But Few days ago I realise it was possible to raise a little bit the Electronic bay by using 2xM3 18mm standoff , 4xRaging Droner arms spacer (I own one...) and a Custom Elbow Print. It allow the FC to be mounted over the ESC and leave enough room to install a Caddx Vista.
