FPV Drone (5-6inch Quadcopter)

thingiverse

This sleek and modern design has undergone numerous revisions, so please pardon the cluttered files. Two critical considerations must be kept in mind. First, there are two distinct types of arms and side plates: offset and flat. The offset design provides more interior space for essential components like wires, PDBs, control boards, ESCs, and wiring. In contrast, the flat system offers a sleeker appearance but compromises on available space. However, if smaller ESCs such as the Turnigy MultiStar 30A BLHeli-S are employed, they can be accommodated within the arms, facilitating enhanced cooling, increased interior room, and an aesthetically pleasing design. Secondly, there are two FPV camera mounting plates available. Both utilize vibration-damping balls with 6mm holes and can be mounted either inside or above the drone. The mounts come in two configurations: wide spacing and narrow spacing, which must match to ensure proper fitment. Two pre-made camera mount options exist: one for lens-mounted systems suitable for smaller integrated cameras, and another featuring a three-screw mounting system ideal for Runcam-style cameras. This exceptional flyer boasts impressive sturdiness and stiffness but may be prone to cracked plates during severe crashes. Fortunately, replacing these components is relatively straightforward. I have successfully utilized both Naze32 with PDBs and OmnibusF4SD without external PDBs or any PDB at all, paired with 2206 motors operating at 2600KV. The design is optimized for 5-inch props but may also accommodate 6-inch props.
