FlyFishRC Tony: The Sub-250g 5" Frame That Mocks Gravity
Tired of the CAA breathing down your neck every time you throttle up? Enter the FlyFishRC Tony, a sub-250g 5-inch frame designed to let you rip full-sized props without the heavy-lift paperwork. We would make a tired "What's your name?! TONY!" joke here, but we respect your time slightly more than that. This isn't just another twig; it’s a lightweight freestyle FPV chassis built for pilots who crave big-air hang time but refuse to register their toys. If you’ve been hunting for a 5-inch drone kit that doesn't fly like a brick or fold like a crisp packet, your search ends here.
Why You Want It
Let’s be real: building a 5-inch quad under 250g usually involves sacrificing structural integrity and praying to the bind-and-fly gods that you don't hit a ghost branch. The Tony is different. FlyFishRC used high-end T700 carbon and their signature CNC aluminum camera plates to ensure this thing can actually take a hit. It’s compatible with everything from analog to the chunky DJI O4 system (though good luck keeping an O4 build under 250g unless you strip it naked—physics is still a law, unfortunately).
Basically, it’s the loophole you’ve been waiting for: 5-inch prop efficiency with the regulatory footprint of a whoop. Just build it light, or don't—we’re a shop, not the drone police.
