Skitto - FPV Microquad Frame 100mm / 130mm with Ducts and Guards.

Important Note: The PropGuards and the PropDucts are entirely unnecessary for a successful flight. However, if you wish to fly indoors, they might prove to be quite handy. # The Skitto Frame v1.3 I have included two sizes: 100mm and 130mm. This frame is designed to be printed in PLA with a 0.2mm layer height, and there's no real need to go lower. The frame is incredibly lightweight (approximately 6-7g when printed in PLA). It flies well, but I still need to test its sturdiness. It features a 15° camera mount. You're supposed to use a small rubber band, similar to those rainbow loom silicone rubber bands. This frame is designed to be used with the SPRacing Evo F3 flight control, but it should work just fine with others. The hole in the center marks exactly that – its center. I mounted everything using loom rubber bands, even the flight control. That's what all these small slits in the frame are for. The hole at the back is meant for a VTX-antenna, if you use this frame with a separate VTX. You can still use an AIO-camera, of course. # TopPlate The top plate protects your electronics, but if you want to go super lightweight, you can leave it off. It doesn't contribute much towards the stability of the frame. It features two additional slits in the front for rubber bands, which you might need to mount your FPV camera. (I'll add some pictures later showing how to do that) The plate has a lot of extra holes, which are there to give you options for securing RX-antennas or VTX-antenna. It's mostly designed for a Spektrum Satellite, but every other RX should be fine. # Prop Guard There's no need for prop guards, but I made them anyway because they're handy if you're flying indoors. They work great with both frame sizes. # Prop Duct I've always wanted to try ducts for these frame sizes. I don't know if they improve flight characteristics or add too much weight. You can use them, or leave them. They are supposed to clip onto the motors and can be removed easily. You can use them with both frame sizes, but they're supposed to be used with the 130mm version. They're slightly too big in size for the 100mm – but you can make it work. # Some Tips - If you're mounting everything using rubber bands, you can swap out frames really fast, in case of a crash. - If you're using an AIO-camera and use a small power plug for it, you can easily remove the camera and get more flight time when flying line of sight. - The frame is designed to be printed in PLA, but it should work fine with other materials. However, if you print it in PETG, it might actually be a little too flexible. # A last Note Please feel free to post your makes. I love to see other configurations and I love to improve the frame further down the line. If you have any problems, please comment.
