Fractal 75 - BNF

Description Are you a whoop racer looking for the sharpest performance without compromising reliability?Or perhaps a freestyle pilot that wants a robust frame with quick maintenance?Maybe you simply want a stronger alternative to those flimsy nylon frames to keep you longer in the air?If you answer yes to any of those, then the Fractal 75 was designed for you!A little backstoryI’ve been thinking a while about whether to change that first paragraph or not, but there is no better way to put it.If you’ve owned, tried, or even just heard of my 65mm racing whoop frame, the Fractal 65, I could simply tell you the 75 embodies the essence of it, scaled up to 40mm propsAnd that would be absolutely true…But there is also a little more to it ��This frame has been in fact 10 months in the making.So much for just making the thing a little larger, you would thinkBut well, not quite.One of the main requirements for that frame was a lightweight, and this has proven challenging to achieve at an enlarged scale without compromising the other main requirement, rigidity.It took several iterations, in design, material, or supplier to find the perfect balance that would meet my expectations.But thanks to the help and testing of my awesome team pilots, lots of crashing and breaking, it is finally at a point where I’m satisfied with it and happy to offer it out to you!I hope you enjoy the extra thrust and stability over the 65mm, the extra prop area makes it much more versatile;you could build it into a lightweight absolute rocket on 300mah 25k 0802, a long-range ELRS F4, or even a vacation video rig carrying a peanut/insta 360 go!Or even go crazy and make it a pusher, or even use no ducts at all!The choice is yours, and I’m supporting your experimentation by regularly uploading 3D models on the downloads section for you to print at home ��For the BNF however, I will build you the classic factory setup, bringing together the most balanced building decision for speed, durability, weight and fun!A quick note on bottom plate optionsAll frame kits come with a 1.5mm bottom plate; it has been found to be the best weight/durability balance on 1SIf you’re a hard basher, want more rigidity for a 2S build or if you simply like more gravity to your builds, I’ve also cut 2mm bottom plates.There are designed with thinner braces to make the most out of the thicker material but remain about 0.5g heavierThis makes it an extremely stiff and nearly indestructible platform; allowing for very tight tuning.Please chose which variant you’d like your BNF assembled with ��So what about that frame?Remaining true to its original intent, the Fractal 75 features:75mm diagonal, squished X geometry, for 40mm props1.5mm Carbon Fiber / Individual Nylon ducts hybrid construction. Cut from Japanese Toray T300 CF sheetLow-profile camera mount, no props in view, no tilt offsetLow Center of Gravity, by bringing the AIO closer to the frame/motorsAllows mounting with USB pointing up for easy accelerometer calibrationNo need for a canopy as all electronics are tucked safely between the ductsMaximum rigidity where it matters most; connecting the motors to the FCEasy maintenance, break one duct, replace only the single ductLightweight, about 21g with HM DiamondF4As always, this is a project that I designed for myself first, that I put together in a product to share with any pilot that would like to experience the same level of requirements!Designed with love, by a pilot, for pilots.But don’t take my word for it, here’s what Team Pilot Glenn “Bellaciao” has to say about it:“Tank like. Can slam it into the ground and it’s fine. Haven’t had any delamination or build quality issues. There’s plenty of room to add a vtx and rx, the ducts protects the parts from impact, and with 2s it truly feels like a larger quad. Facepunches will hurt.”Or a few notes from Sushan “Brdsrtrl”“Very stable and predictable, Makes an easy platform to make a super reliable quad, a million different configurations, Makes it easy to tuck away external parts if you aren’t using an aio.”What do you get?As a BNF, I will assemble a fully flight-ready craft that you can take out and fly right out the boxYou have several build options to chose from;Analog: Runcam Nano 3, HM FX17-B or caddx nano 3 lite camera (depending on availability, check the “additional information” tab to see what’s available at the moment, AIO Flight controller of choice;Diamond F4 for super lightweight (~22g AUW excl. battery)ELRS F4 for the most range (~23g AUW excl. battery)X12 for the strongest durability on top (~24g AUW excl. battery)NeutronRC F411 TBS Nano Pro32 for absolute most signal penetration, and a serviceable buildHDZero: NeutronRC F411 Flight controller, HDZero Whoop Lite VTX and Runcam Nano Lite camera (~27g AUW excl. battery)And EX0802 motors of your choice. JST-PH pigtail by default, BT2.0 optionalA quick note on motor gearing, 19000kv will be best suited for long flight time and efficiency – still does pack quite a punch, as you can witness from the video above with this build. Should be able to do well into the 4-5mins on a 300-450mah22k will grant you significantly more power while remaining fairly balanced, and well 25k is just ludicrously fast. It will pump the juice out of your lipos but those 3mins of flight time will give you a hell of a kick. You may still use a throttle cap to make it more controllable in tight environments ��You can also chose our EX0802 25000kv Wonky Nips motors, with super strong 1.5mm motor shafts. Note: we’ll make your build with teal TPU to match the props and motor accents!It will be tuned to the latest, bleeding-edge firmware, including a Quicksilver tune, as well as BlueJay ESC firmware – With ELRS 3.0 baked in for onboard SPI erceiversI sometimes help out assembling pre-builts with Armattan, so if you’ve ever seen the standard to which these are built, or seen my soldering jobs before you know it will be top-notch.Please note that each build is custom-built to order and goes through extensive tuning, testing and preparation before leaving the shop to make sure you get the best possible experience unboxing, plugging in and simply go fly.And while I try my best to keep the batch sizes manageable on both my end and yours, it can get pretty busy on the bench at times.I try to process every build within the week, but please allow for up to 2 weeks to account for occasional high demandContents:1x Fractal 75 assembled bind and fly1x spare set of propNotes:1-Due to continually ongoing development the actual product may differ from pictures.Link to Manual pageVideo Reviews:
