Which frame do you want?

⭐
Our recommendation
Frame 8" long range · mount 30.5x30.5
💡 Why does it matter?

The frame is the skeleton. It sets the prop size and where you bolt the flight controller.

2808-2814 motors on 6S with 900-1200 KV. Almost always with Li-ion for flight time. GPS and a long-range receiver strongly recommended.
