This frame is configured differently than other designs currently available on the market, -designed, with compartments to install the electronics, such as the FPV Camera, Receiver, Flight controller, Battery, ESCs, and Video transmitter.
- The 3K 45 degree carbon fiber gives the airframe incredible strength but light weight. 45 degree carbon weave-this is a better carbon fiber to make complex shapes out of, and the Sparrow has it. We have sent this one out to some mechanical engineers, and the Sparrow R4 is the result of progress. 🙂
- The Sparrow Racing Quad is a Unique 270mm size airframe that accommodates 5″ & 6″props.
- The Sparrow Racing Quad is designed to support a 3S or 4S lipo setup, the battery platform can hold up to 2200mAh battery.
- The frame comes with a great instruction manual.

The weight can be lowered by about 26g by using Sparrow Armor Titanium Screws bringing the total frame weight down to about 190g.

Love this frame.
My QAV and others sitting idle now
Built with a Naze32 rev6 and an OSDoge, littlebee ESCs, cobra 2205 racing editions and 6040 props and it screams
Using betaflight, custom mix and tuned up PIDs
Frame is not only beautiful but very resilient, despite my best crashes no damage so far
Thanks to Anthony for support
