It fits on the mod base already available. * added some long range suitable mounts: front CRSF antenna holder, long vista antenna mount, BN220 gps holder. * modified the NORMAL top plate (HD and Nano) to have dual strap passes. The rear one is 16mm long for people who want to use 2 straps on the top plate. file version reads v1-1. * added the CARGO plates (dual 20x20) * Now arm options are 3, 4, and 5 inch. The 5 inch is done with BrotherHobby VY2000 Clamp nuts (pressnuts) for DJI Vista, Tarsier, Hybrid The frames come in several variants: * NORMAL: roomy in the front and in the back * SHORTBACK: shorter back making the frame lighter. * NANO: narrow front section for 14x14 nano size cams. same length as the normal version * CARGO: an extra long version with dual 20x20 mount to allow one to use a 16x16 or 20x20 stack and put the vista in the rear. The bottom reinforcement plate (cross plate) is the same for all versions. The new one allows easy access to all the stack screws and is designed to be cut along the weave to be stiffer (90° elements). You'll need the following extra gear: * 6 x M2 23mm standoffs (or 25mm) for the HD cam. The nano version can use 14mm standoffs for a low profile setup * M2 steel or titanium screws (12 M2 6mm for the standoffs, the 6 M2 needed for the arms attachment depend on the arm thicknesses) * M2 pressnuts (the ones from Betafpv, M2 Clamp Nuts are perfect for this build) How to get this frame cut in carbon fiber: Use the DXF files and get it cut following your specs at any CNC service you like. Here are my recommendations: https://www.cncmadness.com (amazing quality & service, based in Canada) I recommend you to ask for the following specs: * 3 inch arms: 3mm CF optionnaly chamfered * 4 inch arms: 3.5mm CF optionnaly chamfered * 5 inch arms: 4mm CF optionnaly chamfered * SB, Normal or Nano bottom plate: 2mm CF * SB, Normal or Nano top plate: 2mm CF (1.5mm should work too) * Bottom Cross: 2mm CF (1.5mm may work as well) Acknowledgements: thanks to Ralf Maigler (Rookie FPV), David Clédon (Dave_C), Lougedo, Ricardo Do Couto for their feedbacks, help and pushing towards this separate arms version
