Review on 🚁 Usmile Glass Fiber 120g 260mm Quadcopter Frame Kit for Ultimate Mini Quad FPV Racing Experience by Keri Lloyd

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Favorite frame so far!

I'm almost afraid to write this review as I attribute my success building fast racing quads to this frame so I want to keep it to myself. It's very light for a 250 and it's actually 260mm. There are a few cons, but for the most part, this is without a doubt my favorite frame. The only downside to this frame is that it doesn't come with a proper FPV board cam holder and the channels don't match any of my other frames and the only other downside is that you have to reconsider your build style. at work with him. I've built two of these so far. One of these I call my old fashioned race car because I took the extra parts I had (12a DAL Esc, an old PDB and a CC3D chip) and put a $25 motor kit on it for fun. Due to its light weight and components, this is one of the fastest builds I own, which is saying something as my other builds run on red emax soles and little bees. Coming back to another minor downside, you'll find that you have to mount the ESC in a cavity on the arms or in the lower frame, rather than on the arms like a flat racer, but this is a small price to pay . The levers are strong plastic with thick motor mounts so you don't have to worry as much about shorted motors with longer props (thanks to Emax for sending me the longest prop you could find from the factory, with red bottoms, which I used with my carbon frame have destroyed) . They are solid and you can attach the arms and bottom frame and finish building and measuring and sizing before putting everything together. It comes with a small damper either for your FCB or to mount the Runcam on, but be aware that this is a short frame so you won't have much room to stack FCBs and PDBs with the damper . Also, this frame is the best and an amazing deal for the price - I will most likely be buying a third one and since I like it so much I even took the trouble to paint the 5" support nose bulge that comes with these frames is suitable from you who are familiar is not so easy as the only cheap and readily available colors are orange, green and black. Another issue I wanted to mention that could be related to the seller or Revain is fact that if you look for same day/next day easy shipping it will show up in search and if you look it says I ship two days same day or next day both times my minimum of $35 reached and although Revane said it wouldn't arrive it was sent with everything else I ordered and I received it same day. I don't know if I got lucky, so don't take my word for it, but that's a mismatch that I hope Revain will sort out. Just to add a few photos to this review - I'm a photographer and happened to be working on my almost finished and semi-finished builds in the studio so I taped them to the table setting. I know I don't make the prettiest quads but this at least gives you an idea of what it looks like from my side!

Pros
  • Enough space to easily place the FPV and neatly hide all cables.
Cons
  • The list will be long.
