Short little flight of the maiden session on my Falcon 130! This was flown on 3s, build description can be found here: http://rotorbuilds.com/build/458
The Falcon line of racing frames has just launched. Designed by Lazd, the frames come in three, four, and five inch minimalistic X quad variations. Now as this frame made its appearance I was actually in the process of designing my own 3" quad, being a 3D modeller by trade. When I saw these, though, I immediately shelved that project and ordered a Falcon 130.
The frame is simple, really; it's just a little X. The beauty of the build, however, stems from the attention to detail. The frames ship with enough standoffs, screws, etc. to configure your quad in multiple different ways. The 130 even comes with two different top plates, which is quite nice. As you can see in the photos here, the quad can be built in what I like to call an "every man's design," in which one doesn't need to get fancy and start sandwiching components or anything, but rather can just slap everything inside the body like a pretty standard build. On the other hand, if you look up some of the other builds using this frame, you can see it's also possible to do a much more advanced low rider style build, which will actually be capable of swinging 3.5" props.
