  • Added a GPS mount for the rear for 18x18mm boards
  • Removed the little diamond cut outs on the arms as they were too small for getting proper results when cutting and making them larger would weaken the arms
  • Updated the top and bottom plate cut outs pattern to make it more harmonic and leave a bit more room for the camera plate cut outs.
  • Updated hero rendering

2.1
  • Decided to switch from 240mm to 230mm motor to motor distance and strengthen the arms with the weight saved (a trade-off between stability and agility, making it a better all-rounder)
  • Arms are a little thicker to improve a potential break point
  • Reduced frame weight by 2,5g due to arms getting shorter

2.0
  • New arm design with a better predetermined break point
  • New arm position and the center section therefore can be more narrow
  • Arms are interlocking in the middle now which makes the frame way stiffer
  • Smaller cam plate and improved mounting for Mini size cameras
  • Added separate cam plates for Runcam and Foxeer mounting pattern
  • Cam plate and thus frame height now 28mm instead of 30mm
  • Moved the middle standoffs slightly to the front/back
  • Center plate is now a real center plate again so the motors move up by 2mm
  • Slightly wider rear section, not converging anymore, for better battery placement
  • The top plate now leaves enough space to prepare the four rear holes for counter sunk screws
