This is a popular frame for good reason. First and foremost, it is beautiful! The build quality and lifetime warranty are definitely factors as well. My chosen components provide a ton of features, including Betaflight OSD with SmartAudio, and FrSky Smartport telemetry to the OSD and my Taranis. The FC and motors are soft-mounted. With all features enabled in Betaflight, including softserial and three flight modes, the CPU sits at 34% utilization. With the accelerometer disabled, it's even lower. I certainly added weight by choosing form over function, but form matters to me. Besides, the weight of the mesh sleeving is negligible. At this time, the RunCam Split 2 is on the horizon, and I will be adding it to this build when it's available. I seriously considered the original Split, but I'm hoping some of its shortcomings will be addressed in the second version.

I painted the frame edges with DecoArt acrylic paints and polyurethane clear coat, using a mixture of burnt orange and metallic copper paints. If I could do it again, I'd mix in a little red paint as well. The cable sleeving is from https://www.cableorganizer.com. If you use it over red wire, it will look brighter than it appears in my build; I used all black wiring where possible.

This build is incredibly stable, responsive, and powerful. Although I fly with 4S batteries, it is capable of utilizing up to 6S. The ESCs are capable of producing these colors with the RGB LEDs: red, blue, green, cyan, yellow, and purple.

Thanks for checking out my build, and happy flying!
