Open Source Grasshopper5 5 inch Long Range FPV Frame Kit
1. Introduction: The Grasshopper 5 is a 5-inch FPV frame that allows adjustable angles between the rotor plane and the body, is 3D-printing-friendly, and has excellent compatibility with mainstream FPV drone hardware. Not all about science, but all about fun! 2. Grasshopper 5 Design Concept: I know that designing a drone with an angled rotor plane is not a novel idea. Many similar designs exist, with DJI FPV being one of the most well-known examples. However, none of these designs cater to DIY enthusiasts or are compatible with the current mainstream FPV hardware. Therefore, I wanted to create a frame where the rotor plane could be angled relative to the body and the angle could be flexibly adjusted using 3D-printed parts. This would make it easier for more people to try out this layout and explore its potential benefits. The design isn't strictly science-based but still exciting to explore. 3. Features of the Grasshopper 5: Reduces drag generated by the body, improving flight effi
