The phoenix is a 5" freestyle beast that can kick ass on the track too.

It is lightweight at around 100g assembled but it can take a serious beating. Several arm designs were tested and broken mercilessly against whitegums, karri trees, bitumen, you name it; until finally the "gecko foot" design proved to be very tough indeed, and only 12mm across the narrowest section to prevent thrust lost and drag.

The Phoenix has been designed with centre-of-gravity as a priority and this shows in the way it handles; locked in, agile, smooth and fast.

Field serviceability is another priority, which is why a uniplate design was not adopted. In the unlikely event of an arm breaking, they are individually replaceable, only requiring the removal of one screw, and the loosening of one other. Press nuts have been used for one-tool serviceability.

In order to maintain a low profile of 25mm (20mm is possible too, these camera plates will be available soon), there is a bay beneath the stack where you can keep your reciever or vtx out of the way, giving you an extra 6mm of effective stack height. The camera protrudes slightly below the bottom of the main plate. This does not put it in harms way as it is not lower than the arms. I have not yet managed to damage a camera in this frame.

You can mount the battery on top if you run a runcam split, or use a tetragonal battery with a gopro (you'll need a mount, I haven't made one yet), or you can sling the battery underneath and mount the gopro on top. It will be well balanced either way you go.

Detailed aesthetic design

Compact and low profile with 25mm standoffs - can esaily fit 2 board stack, 3 is possible

Space at back of frame for most vtxs to fit easily

Light weight at approx 90g complete frame weight. Use of titanium/aluminium hardware can bring this down further

Very durable: 4mm individual arms with quick replacement system (only requires the removal of one bolt, and one more to be loosened a bit), 2mm main plate and 1.5mm top plate and reinforcing bottom plate

Compatible with a wide range of fpv cameras, and provides good protection to the camera

Camera angle adjustable between 5 degrees and 60+ degrees

Battery can be top or bottom mounted (recommend bottom mount if using a gopro), strap hooks hold a 25mm strap securely in place
