Main design elements:

Sandwich bottom plate design

2,5mm lower Bottom Plate,  2mm opper Bottomplate, 6mm Arms, 2mm topplate for robustness

21.5mm stack space length gives you a slamdeck design with centralised center of gavity, but still enough space to mount your electronics.

148g weight

conventional or toilet tank battery mounting

optimised for low vibration resonance

Rounded corners to reduce notch effect

Easy maintenance: Only 6 scews to remove topplate, motor bells can be replaced without dissassemly of motor or arm protectors, 2-screw arm change

Stack mounting: 30,5mm M3 and and 20mm M3 with Pressnuts fits various Flight Stacks

VTX mounting: 20mm M2 and 25,5mm M2 in the back, fits Vista, DJI Airunit, DJI O3, Walksnail, HDzero or various analog VTX.

Universal Camera sideplate using pritable inserts to fit 19mm or 20mm wide cameras and different length and provides vibration isolation when printed in TPU. Strong camera cage und vertical front braces provide good camera protection in case of frontal crash.

Openings for XT60 connectors in top plate so that power cable can not get damaged by propellers

Mounts for cable ties to mount capacitors, beepers, receivers or GPS and strain relief for power cable.

Keystone arm mount to provide stiffnes and vibration damping.

Main design elements:

Sandwich bottom plate design

2mm lower Bottom Plate,  2mm upper Bottomplate, 4mm Arms, 1.5mm topplate for robustness

20mm stack space length gives you a slamdeck design with centralised center of gavity, but still enough space to mount your electronics.

62g weight

conventional or toilet tank battery mounting

optimised for low vibration resonance

Rounded corners to reduce notch effect

Easy maintenance: Only 5 scews to remove topplate, 2-screw arm change

Stack mounting: 25,5mm M2 and and 20mm M2 fits various flight stacks and AIO flight controllers

VTX mounting: 25,5mm M2 and and 20mm in the back, fits Vista, DJI O3, Walksnail, HDzero or various analog VTX.

Universal Camera sideplate using pritable inserts to fit 19mm or 20mm wide cameras and different length and provides vibration isolation when printed in TPU. Strong camera cage und vertical front braces provide good camera protection in case of frontal crash.

Openings for XT30 connectors in top plate so that power cable can not get damaged by propellers

Mounts for cable ties to mount capacitors, beepers, receivers or GPS and strain relief for power cable.

Keystone arm mount to provide stiffnes and vibration damping.

When you look for 5-inch FPV hexacopter frames there is nothing on the market. Only a few retailers have some rests of old, very outdated designs in stock. So I decided to make this modern reincarnation of the Hexacopter and give you the opportunity to build and fly this little beast.

Main design elements:

- sandwich bottom plate design like most modern quadcopters have

- thick 6mm arms for robustnes, all the same length and therefore interchangable

- rounded corners to reduce notch effect

- lot of space for mounting electronics: 3x 30.5mm and 20mm stack holes, in the front, in the middle and in the back

- rectangular holes in the topplate to fit XT60 connector trough. So power cables can't get into the props.

- holes for cable ties as strain relief for power cables in front and behind the center stack

- cavity for capacitor under center stack to save space and get it out of the way for wiring

- all action camera mounts for TBS source one will fit because of same mounting hole pattern

- higher version with 38mm spacers in the front, 30mm in the back. Gives you lots of space for your electronics. Also a low profile slamdeck version is avaliable: https://armattanproductions.com/pages/kit_detail/2897

- camera side plates to mount 19mm micro-size cameras

- frame wheight: 240g including hardware.

How does it fly?

Yes, you can freestyle it. That's what it's made for. It's pretty agile because it has even a slightly better thrust/weight ratio than most Freestyle Quadcopters.

Check out my flight video:

Armattan Productions does not offer 3D printed elements. But you can print them yourself:

Why is it called "Alligator"?

This came up during the construction. When I looked onto the bottom plate in the CAD system it lookes like the mouth and body of an alligator. When you fly it together with other people this flying predator might eat some little tiny whoops ;-).
