So I’ve started thinking on my “outdoor” drone with an eye to racing if I ever “get good.” So I pulled up a resource that has compiled all the parts, so I can start trying to think through it. Thankfully, his stuff lends really well to dropping into spreadsheets.
The frame, I feel, is going to be one of the most important pieces. I want light weight, I’d prefer carbon fiber, and I don’t want to break the bank.
Before I converted Liang’s list to a spreadsheet, I was skimming through and looking at stats. The Loki X5 caught my eye first on stats alone. Then I scrolled through and it caught my eye again for design.
Then when I sorted it, the Loki was tied for the second lightest, and of the lightest 5 one of the two cheapest (the frame tied for price was 21g heavier). This is all on top of the fact it constantly caught my eye and I have recently been having a lot of attraction to Norse influences.
So… I think it’s going to be the Loki. I know my frame.
