Fractal Engineering Fractal65 Crown Frame Kit – Choose Color

This Fractal65 kit uses The Crown whoop frame for its ducts.

• The lifecycle of this craft started back in 2018 already, right around when brushless 0603 powertrains appeared and started looking like a solid next step in 65mm whoop class
• Back then I entered the class with a UR65, and although it flew great compared to any other canopy whoop I’ve tried before, something was still off…
• The nylon frame didn’t seem to hold up very well to the added weight and power from the brushless era design.
• It needed to improve on 2 main factors; rigidity and weight.
• So I went to work and came up with the first revision of the project, based on the CrazybeeF3 board and 0603 spinners.
• Basically an UR65 powertrain on a carbon frame with individual ducts and 3D printed parts
• And while it was great for my basher use, the weight, at 23g wasn’t quite up to my standard…so the project fell off, waiting for better hardware to support the idea…
• For almost 3 years I kept flying the first revision occasionally until Happymodel released the right hardware that would make it all possible this time…
• You may think there isn’t much to it, that I’m just pulling it out of my arse, but trust me, there is lots of R&D and testing that went into it; I wouldn’t have released it otherwise.
• This frame was designed to the lightest it could, where it could, without compromising strength, where it needed it the most, in true aerospace engineering fashion.
