Armattan Tadpole 3 120mm Micro Frame Kit

We've received numerous requests to design a smaller frame for 65mm props. Initially, we were hesitant for two main reasons. Firstly, there were limited options for small motors and props for a long time. However, the growing popularity of this weight - class has now offered a wide range of choices, including great options for 16 x 16 stacks that can power these small models effectively. Secondly, we didn't want to create a minimalistic frame with POD - style 3D - printed or plastic canopies as we aimed for a top - mounted battery design. Our goal was to build a lightweight, strong frame with a top - mounted battery. With Jason Hay's assistance, we found several solutions to reduce weight while achieving our design goals. Introducing the Armattan Tadpole 3! Features: It uses 65mm props and has a top - mounted lipo, which is ideal for a small, fun - flying or freestyle frame. It comes with a custom aluminium front cage that fully protects a nano cam, custom shorter rear aluminium posts, and a new rubber - moulded vtx antenna mount that's modular with the custom rear posts, no bolts required. The slightly slanted aerodynamic top lipo plate is a result of rear - end weight reduction. The dry frame weight (fully assembled) is just 17.5 grams. Specifications: The frame weighs 17.5g, with a motor - to - motor distance of 119.5. It has a compressed X shape, a 2mm thick main plate, M2 hardware, a 9mm motor mount pattern, and an option for a 16x16 or whoop AIO bracket for the FC stack. It has a nano (14mm) FPV camera mount, a custom rubber holder (1.8mm) for FPV antennas, a max stack height of 16mm, and all parts are fully warranted. Recommended Components: 12xx motors, CADDX Ant cams, 3 - inch props, and 3S or 4S LiPo at 450mAh or 550mAh. Browse more Armattan products, frame kits, and micro frames.

Using the Armattan Tadpole 3 is a breeze. First, assemble the frame following the included instructions. Attach your 12xx motors to the 9mm motor mount pattern. Then, install your CADDX Ant cam in the nano camera mount and connect your FPV antenna to the custom rubber holder. Place your 3S or 4S LiPo at 450mAh or 550mAh on the top - mounted lipo plate. When flying, be aware that due to its small size, it can be affected by strong winds, so choose a calm day for the best experience. For maintenance, regularly check the frame for any signs of damage, especially the custom aluminium parts. Clean the frame gently with a soft cloth. If you notice any loose parts, tighten them using the appropriate M2 hardware. Remember, all parts of this frame are warranted, so if you encounter any issues, don't hesitate to contact the manufacturer.
