YoungRC XL8 FPV Racing Drone Frame: Carbon Fiber 8 inch Frame Kit for Ultimate FPV Freestyle Experience Review

This thing is huge but light weight just what I need for my long range cinematic quad GPS as efficiency is a must, battery panel and manual which is pretty is easy, although I wish I could swap the "X" plate holder down so I have more room for my stacks. I'm still waiting for my 2508 and 7" motors. Props and I'll give you an update.

The arms bend like crazy, they're too flimsy and attach with just two screws instead of three on most drones of this size. The shoulders should also be 6+mm or even 7mm since they are so narrow. They fly too much and make it very difficult to get a decent tune. I'd spend the extra money on a better, thicker carbon or you're still buying thicker parts if you learn the hard way. The holes are not drilled well, but this is common to all Chinese clones.

Not bad overall but the camera mount design sucks. The holes are in odd places, making it difficult to install the camera properly. Update 6/2: After a few minor glitches it is clear that the carbon used in this frame is of poor quality. Carbon laminates adhere very poorly and fall apart easily. Carbon flexes too much, which makes me wonder if it's really carbon or a carbon/glass composite. I would definitely look for other options at a slightly higher price point.

I bought this frame looking for something that had the stability of a large quadcopter as well as the durability of a racing drone (I crash a lot). This frame met all my expectations. The arm is 4mm thick, making it extremely strong and very stiff as you would expect from carbon fiber. The frame came well packaged with all the nuts and bolts to assemble (with a few extras). It took me just a few minutes to assemble the frame base and over an hour to my first flight test (no FPV yet). There is…

I'm not very impressed with this shot. It's not suitable for HD, there are 20 x 20 holes on the top plate which would be nice to hang a look at but mine was 22 x 22. Don't know if it was a mistake. The only "standard" holes were 30.5 x 30.5 in the center. The camera plates are designed to accommodate a standard size camera spaced 28mm apart. TOO FAR if you have a mini or micro device like most people use today. The images look large, a bit like most things. personally less. When I put the 4 in…
