This is the all new moulded carbon frame from Diatone. Unlike the majority of quadcopter frame that are cut from carbon plates, the X549 frame is made using moulded carbon. This has two benefits, 1- Custom shapes can be formed and weaves can be better aligned to maximise strength and stiffness, and 2 – the shape can be aerodynamically optimised for the frame to cut through the air.

This is a lovely frame, BUT…… it needs 20x20mm and the space you have to work is very very tight. I mean really tight. Forget putting a split camera on here, there’s not enough room. In fact forget most boards as they’re simply isn’t enough room! I’ve gone through four flight controllers, two esc boards because the space is so tight that they end up touching during flight and puff…magic smoke. I may look at the Diatone boards next as I suspect the frame will be designed to take them.
So choose another frame if you’re not used to building very tight builds, or go buy the PNP version.
