The Menace DREADNOUGHT has been in development and testing during the 2019 season, design emhpasis has been on strength, balance, centre of gravity and most of all enjoyment to fly.
This design came about when MikeyDread who loved the Menace Slam frame requested to take the slam and turn it into the perfect FPV frame for freestyle flying. The slam was a great frame and nicely balanced, however it was designed for older cameras and traditional battery mounting. Mikey took the slam and inspiration from the FiziX race frame along with feedback from Menace pilots to develop the DREADNOUGHT.
The design employs true X configuration with a unique interlocking arm configuration for maximum strength and agile precise shredding.
In order to achieve that ultimate COG and balance the DREADNOUGHT employs the toilet tank battery mount configuration, but if you want you can still mount in the traditional way for build flexibility.
The DREADNOUGHT also has a carbon fibre camera mount with support bar to keep that all important FPV camera locked dead ahead and securely tucked away.
