A true ultralight race drone still capable of long range and endurance flying? Yes please.

In this video I designed a new drone frame to support the ever growing list of All In One (AIO) Flight controllers that use the 25.5 mm mounting pattern. The SharkByte TX5S video transmitter also uses this mounting pattern so the end result is an electronic stack that fits like a glove...Almost.

There have been some great videos surfacing of flyers using these AIO boards on typical 2207/2306 size motors with moderate success. Keeping with the ultralight drone theme, I decided to go with the 2005 stator size here. I'm glad I did! This size of drone might just become my new favourite. Weighing in at 190g without battery, it still has the ability to cruise at ridiculously low current draw which makes it enticing for those wanting to fly endurance or long range drones.

I am still yet to test the iFlight XING motors but have plans to put these into a slightly different configuration frame to suit more freestyle type flying. I'll add a naked GoPro to this too.
