The Nuby 150 (153mm motor to motor) is a tough little quad frame designed for 3" props. The main feature of the frame is that it's designed around the HS1177 FPV camera, so you can have the same image quality as your larger quad. The base plate is 3mm which will be near impossible to break given the frames curvy design. There is a hole at the back of the top plate for an SMA conector if you want to go that way, and holes in the bottom plate for a standard flight controller, though I prefer an afromini. 

The recomended setup is 3100KV 1306 motors HQ 3x3x3 props on 4S or something similar. There are many other great combos out there including 1407 motors which make this thing a rocket, but note that this frame will not take 1104/1105 motors due to the hole spacing. 

4x 20mm aluminium standoffs are recommended to connect the two plates. You will also need 8x M3 bolts to use with the standoffs. 

This is my new Hoothoot frame (yes it's a play on the "owl" frame, sorry Dmitry :P) It is designed for the new 2.5" rotorx props. 

There are 7 x 2mm holes down the center of the frame which allow you to place the standoffs where you want depending on the equipment that you wish to use. 

Motor to motor, the frame measures 113mm. Outside dimensions: it's 164mm wide, and 152mm long. 

Included in this kit are the two main plates which are both 1.5mm thick carbon fibre. 

Roughly 8 x 20mm M2 standoffs are required and 16 x M2 bolts (depending on how you want to build the frame). 

The standoffs seem to be hard to find, so here are the ones I used:

M2 bolts such as these ones would work well:

The motor mounts are designed for 1102/1104/1105/1304 motors. Take your pick! :)

To complete this frame, you will need a similar mindset to an LKTR120 build - I wanted it to be as compact and as light as possible, so there are no standard naze mounting holes, an afromini is my choice for this frame.

This is the HEX-R. It's a mini hexacopter which was inspired by the Shrediquite Gemini. It takes 4" props and is great fun to fly. It's the size of a mini quad, but it feels more locked in because of the extra props. As I'm writing this, there have been 3 of these hexacopters in existance since 2015, and none of them have ever broken. I've cartwheeled mine many times. I believe the strength comes from the rounded design where the arms join to the body. 

Here is a video about my G10 HEX-R build from last year:

This Kit includes:

The main base plate which is 3mm carbon.

The top plate which is 1mm carbon. 

6x M3 25mm standoffs

12x 7mm M3 bolts

Recommended parts:

6x 1407 3200KV motors

Gemfan 4045 Carbon props (the carbon make more thrust than the plastic)

1000mAh 4S battery

HS1177 Camera (the front of this hex was designed for this camera)

Hey All,

EDIT: This kit has been updated with some holes in the top plate which allow the XT60 to be cable tied down. 

This is my racing quad design that I plan to use for 2017. It's main features are it's low air resistance which is aided by it's 8mm wide, 5mm thick arms. It has a small main section (no room for HD camera) which is designed to hold the battery on the top of the quad. Many new race frames use a bottom mount battery, but my preference is top mounting. It has 30mm standoffs so it's not too high. There is a hole at the front of the middle plate to mount a standard HS1177 bracket. The frame weight is about 75g, but yours might be slightly different as Armattan's hardware will be a little different to what I'm using. 

The top plate has been designed so a 1500mAh 4S battery will be well supported. There are 2 holes on the back of the top plate which can house an SMA connector for your VTX.

One way that weight has been saved on this frame is by using less metal hardware. The arms  have 2 bolts holding them on, both of which go into stand offs. I highly reccomend using loctite on these bolts to ensure they don't come loose! 

Thanks for looking at my quadcopter design, and I hope you like it :)

22/06/17 EDIT: This has become my favourite quadcopter to fly. Not on 5" but on 4" props! The power to weight ratio is amazing with a 600mAh 4S and it's a very fun quad to throw around. I've also since designed some camera mounts which bolt on top of the flight controller stack:

This is a super light, super simple frame designed for 5" props, but with a twist - 1306/1407/1707 motors. 

I've seen a few people try this combo, specifically the Tornado T1 1407 3600KV motors on light 5" props. 

Here is an example of what I'm talking about:

https://youtu.be/ELsv0kbN3cE

It seems quite a few people are modifying the twig frame to use these small motors, but I've drawn up this custom frame to do the job instead. The arms are 4mm thick and 6mm wide. The 2x middle plates are 1.5mm thick, so I'm not expecting strength to be an issue here. It's motor to motor distance is 200mm. I haven't designed a top plate for this frame in order to save weight and cost. I have had questions about how to mount the FPV camera, personally I plan to print out this mount for my frame: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1441375 

Another great camera option for this frame would be a "tiny whoop" style camera which you could tape/glue/rubber band mount on top of the flight controller. Example: http://www.banggood.com/Eachine-TX03-Super-Mini-025mW50mW200mW-Switchable-AIO-5_8G-72CH-VTX-600TVL-13-Cmos-FPV-Camera-p-1104884.html?rmmds=search

I've designed the bolts that hold the arms on so the outer bolts are 30.5mm apart so you can mount a standard FC, and the inner bolts are 20mm apart, so you can use one of the smaller FCs and 4 in 1 ESCs that are coming out on the market. 

This is the 4" version of my ultra light weight racing quad. It's very basic in order to save weight, the middle section is the size of a standard 30.5mm flight controller. It's motor to motor length is 160mm. The motor mounts are designed for 1306/1407 sized motors. With the correct component choice, this quad will be under 250 grams all up. 

From experience, 1407 3600KV motors on DAL 4045 props and a 650mAh 4S battery make for a very agile combination. 

I have not tried it yet, but this frame would also work very well as a 3" build.  An AUW under 200 grams should be very possible and make for a great flier. 

For a 3" build, personally I'd be using 1306 3100KV motors, HQ3x3x3 props, and a 650mAh 4S battery. Some people may prefer a higher KV motor which may also require a larger battery such as an 850mAh 4S. 

I was asked to make a stretched version of my 5" ultra light quad, so here it is. I don't have one of these cut out for myself, but I'd expect the weight to be under 40 grams. 

This frame is designed for use with a 30.5x30.5mm flight controller which piggy backs off the inner arm bolts.

I was asked to make a stretched version of my ultra light 4" quad, so here it is. The weight on this one will be about 34 grams! 

This frame is designed for use with a 30.5x30.5mm flight controller which piggy backs off the outer arm bolts.

Due to the positioning of the arm bolts, you may want to run the battery strap front to back instead of the more standard side to side unless you have a very thin strap.

REQUIRED: 

3x M2 20mm stand offs.

6x M2 Bolts (Roughtly 6mm would work well) 

Sorry guys, Armattan doesn't offer the above hardware to sell with their kits, so these things need to be purchased separately. 

The standoffs can be purchased here: https://www.banggood.com/Diatone-M220mm-Aluminum-Standoff-For-Blade-150-180-200-ET-150-Frame-Kits-20PCS-p-986901.html?rmmds=search

So what we have here is a camera mount for the Runcam Micro Swift that will bolt right on top of your standard 30.5mx30.5mm flight controller stack. 

This allows for light weight streamlined builds with tons of camera protection - The plates in this kit are 2mm thick, so have fun trying to break them!

This cam mount is the perfect addition to my ultra light frames: https://armattanproductions.com/pages/kit_detail/885

23/06/17 UPDATE: I've added in a 3rd stand off which will tighten everything up a bit better. 

Here is a camera mount for the HS1177 and variants that will bolt right on top of your standard 30.5mx30.5mm flight controller stack. 

This allows for light weight streamlined builds with lots of camera protection.
