THIS IS A GOOD LOW KV – HV FRAME

The ‘Merica was born directly from customer feedback and our own internal race pilot testing and requests. We actually listen to pilot feedback and implement some of those ideas into our designs. This machine has some very unique and innovative pilot inspired features built in.

Low aerodynamic drag:

This frame uses an aerodynamically efficient arm design that is thin without sacrificing crash durability. Standard with the kit are 5mm thick arms and optional 6mm thick arms can be purchased as an upgrade. Arm design is not the only contributing factor for great aero. You also need a ‘slippery’ center fuselage that gives as little resistance to the oncoming air as possible. Merica’s ‘head’ is a TPU canopy that is designed to have a very low drag coefficient.

Build in flight controller/camera soft mount:

The flight controller and FPV camera are mounted to the TPU canopy. You read that correctly. The FC is NOT mounted to the carbon fiber frame. Mounting the FC to the TPU canopy means that any board you choose is soft mounted by default. The canopy is made of a flexible material and works to de-couple the board from the motors. The FPV camera is mounted at the top of the canopy. This mounting scenario helps to dampen vibration before it reaches your camera.

Ample space to fit standard sized components:

Plenty of space to fit ‘standard sized’ components with 30.5mm x 30.5mm mounting holes. 4-in-1 ESC’s are ideal with this frame. AIO FC/ESC/PDB’s such as the Asgard can be used as well. There are also 20mm x 20mm mounting holes for micro AIO ESC’s, and with THIS adapter you can mount in a micro FC.

Excellent crash durability:

The Merica comes standard with high-quality 5mm thick arms with optional 6mm thick arms available for purchase. Carbon fiber grain direction is aligned with the length of the arm for maximum crash toughness and rigidity. The entire top section of the frame is a flexible TPU canopy. During a crash, this structure will move and give instead of breaking like a carbon fiber top plate.

Clean air for the rear props:

This frame takes the stretch X design even farther and staggers the front and rear arms with respect to each other. The front arms sit at a lower elevation than the rear which helps to get more ‘clean air’ to the rear props.
