What's New?
This kit has been developed and designed after the amazing popularity and well received Version 1, the XILO 5" Freestyle DIY Kit. In this case Lumenier and Xilo worked side by side with Joshua Bardwell on multiple features to make the kit even better:
New Airframe Design: The QAV-S - Joshua Bardwell Edition frame optimizes the space and weight for a 5" quad design, with a low profile body for electronics, enough space to fit an Analog or Digital Video System, engineered center of gravity when carrying an Action Camera, robust and structured design that is meant for hardcore freestyle.
New Motors: The Xilo Stealth 2207 is a modern looking motor that has a sleek blacked out design. It is budget friendly and features a stainless steel shaft for added strength, high-temperature copper winding, smooth stainless-steel bearings, and a no-slip prop mounting surface.
New Electronics: The new XILO STAX V2 features an optimized design layout compatible with a plug and play DJI connector and has optimal solder pad layout for Receiver and Analog video transmitter.
New Propellers: The new Gemfan 51477 is a lightweight design that Joshua Bardwell chose as a good balanced, durable, and versatile propeller for freestyle lovers. And it is purple!
