Product Overview

Introducing the Lumenier QAV-S 5" Freestyle Quadcopter Frame - Joshua Bardwell Special Edition. A custom designed drone frame for FPV Freestyle flying.

This frame was designed in collaboration with Lumenier and world-renown FPV guru Josuha Bardwell to bring you the "perfect" FPV freestyle frame. Building upon the success of the QAV-S series, the JB special edition takes it a step further with optimized design to save weight, single-piece top plate for added strength and rigidity, thicker bottom plate for more durability, lower stand-offs for improved CG and better handling, and much more!

The QAV-S is a 5-inch freestyle airframe that is ultra-durable, easy to work on, and locked-in to perform and provide the best flight feel. The QAV-S has many small details that were well-thought-out - including premium Lumenier carbon fiber with finished and chamfered edges on all the plates, 7075 colored aluminum standoffs to give the quad a sleek look, plus all hardware is included.

The QAV-S brings several new innovations to the table. The first innovation is the arm locking system which includes a hinge with a press nut that secures the arms and requires just one screw to swap the arm. This is a convenient feature when maintenance is needed. The second feature is a split bottom plate that gives enough room for a micro camera, while also reducing the rear deck space for components. Lastly, the QAV-S has isolated 20x20 and 30x30 stack mounting in the center (and 20x20 mounting in the rear) that lets you take care of your electronics stack without the need to alter the frame structure and overall build.

I chose the QAV-S as my favorite freestyle frame because it has the perfect balance of light weight, flight performance, durability, and ease of maintenance. The JB edition increases durability by going to a single-piece top plate and changing the bottom plate from 2mm to 3mm. By going to a "slammed-deck" design, the weight of the frame stays the same, and durability and flight handling are further improved.
