Awesome little frame.
Hope you can finish the build before the end of the season, and do some flying with it.

Just updating this thread because this vid is the exact frame I got. It`s the stretched X frame which is the difference in colour,the yellow frame is the normal X and blue is the stretched X.
It really is a fantastic frame,easy to build and ultra strong with full carbon none of that hybrid fibreglass bollox,the manufacturing quality is spot on and the champhered edges are awesome.
Just waiting for that Emax magnum to come out for this build.

Going to be a great build combined with that all-in-one flightcontroller.
Think you got enough spareparts now to make a quick and dirty practicing build. Should make a quad that won't hurt so much when it crashes and gets damaged.

Aye as Canner says, DO IT!.....
I think he's got enough spare parts to start a club, hehe, then again, most probably I have too... Damn you BangGood.
I like that frame, nice n solid, 5incher seems to be the sweet spot, I must say I like the X Yellow though, but they both looks great.
Did you know you can change the config in CF or BF if your quad is not a true-X, it's so the FC knows it's own shape and can control the aircraft better. You measure the X-dist and Y-dist and set it up in console, but of a pain but should be done IMO. Doesn't mean it won't fly, just means it'll know it's own shape, and therefore should handle better. Shame all these extra little bits that are console only aren't ALL in the GUI config.
If anyone's interest, I'll let you know how to do it.

Aha!
Whilst looking for another video for Canner, I found the vid that explains how to setup up your quads X-layout properly with the mixing calculator... I think IFroce2d actually wrote a program to spit out the numbers you need for BetaFlight... The first viddy...
The one explaining the calculator...
