xRotor I-Frame (Clear View FPV)


This is the first look at the xRotor I-Frame. It is designed for Clear View FPV. Mounting the GoPro Hero on the top of the “I” will give a clear view. The opposite deck can hold the video transmitter and flight pack to balance as needed.

Here is the maiden flight video of the Micro Spider HEX. I only had time for a quick flight before work so I was not able to change the rates for acrobatics. That will be next. Details are at the end of the video.
