Description
OVERVIEW
The Sting 180 is a light weight FPV drone great for both racing and freestyle. The low drag and light frame gives it the upper edge in racing and also allows for more efficient flight giving you longer freestyle runs.
FEATURES
- Minimalist 5” quad with ultra low drag
- True 90 degree X frame and central mass yields uniform flight characteristics on pitch and roll.
- Can run any 22xx size motors with standard 16 by 19 mounting pattern.
- Thin arms with verticaly mounted ESCs leading to low drag aerodynamic arm
- Wide camera angle options from 0-45 degrees.
- Fits HS1177 style FPV cameras
- Built in 45 degree GoPro Session mount
- Individual arms allow for easy replacement in the event of a broken arm
- Optional arm braces. Run without arm braces for ultimate low drag racing performance or put the arms on for added strength while freestyling.
- AUW (w/Turnigy 1300 65c 4s graphene): 480g
- Weight of Carbon (without arm supports): 40g
- Frame Weight (without arm supports): 56g
- Frame Weight (with arm supports): 68g
INSPIRATION FOR THE DESIGN
The Sting 180 originated out of a desire to push the size limits of a 5" copter as small as they could go. The result is a 5" copter that is the size of many 4" copters. The main reason for pushing the limis and making the copter as small as could be was to reduce weight and drag. The smaller frame requires less carbon and also presents less frontal area and therefore less drag. To keep the drag and the weight down the arms were also slimmed. Because the arms were so much shorter they didn't need to be as thick to be as strong. The next problem was what to do with the ESCs. Therefore I created a small brace that holds the ESCs vertically on the bottom of the arm allowing for a nice streamlined shape.
