For CNC cutting options, check below. You can also get the Picklefork 4" from Rotorvillage - it's a slightly modified PicklePick 4" frame. ----- The PickleBig is a Pickle Toothpick style frame full of pumpkin spice so it got a lot bigger to 4 inch and 5 inch. Those things are already in the air, here Matthew Nguyen set up 4 inch, 1404 3850 Kv motors and 4S : <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mQnpHdgqu70" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> Are you scared and need something smaller? Check my PicklePick 65mm & 3 inch frames. Those are experimental designs based on the Toothpick/light micro concept but went bigger because the gear permits it now. We want to achieve an ultralight quad with maxed-out performance. Basically, those frames should be built around the new BetaFPV 20A Whoop AIO and all the nano format electronics we used before. See below for motor targets, frame specs, etc. Kudos to Matthew Nguyen, Chadd Astronomo, and David Clédon for pushing & supporting those experiments! ## Frame Specifications: 4 inch: - 153 mm wheelbase - Whoop AIO 26x26 FC (recommended: BetaFPV 20A AIO) or 20x20mm - 9mm to 12mm motor mount (4 hole M2) - Frame weight should be around 12-20g (depending on thickness) - Recommended motors: 1306, 1404, 1408 on 4S with 1.5mm shaft - Separate canopy mount to isolate it from the stack screws (new in v1.2) 5 inch: - 190 mm wheelbase - FC Mount: Whoop AIO 26x26mm (BetaFPV 20A!) + 20x20 - 12mm (M2) to 16mm (M3) motor mount (4 hole) - Frame weight should be around 25-30g (depending on thickness, wheelbase) - Recommended motors: from 1507 to somewhere around 2204 (?) - Separate canopy mount to isolate it from the stack screws Why PickleBig? Well, because it's a Pickle and it's big :) (Stupid naming as usual). ## Where do I get the Frame? ### Buy It * [PickleBig 4 inch at Armattan Productions](https://armattanproductions.com/pages/product_details/22851) * [PickleBig 5 inch at Armattan Productions](https://armattanproductions.com/pages/product_details/23007) ### Get Yours Cut As always, you have to make it cut somewhere - it's not an off-the-shelf product.
