FlyFishRC is excited to introduce a new addition to the relatively fresh sub-250g 5” freestyle drone category – the FlyFishRC Tony!
In this modern era, where our hobby meets with aircraft weight restrictions, flying drones larger than 3” has become increasingly challenging. However, we all love a rip on a good old 5” drone, don’t we? That’s why we believed it was the perfect time to create an exceptionally lightweight 5-inch frame with the potential to craft a sub-250g 5” drone. And that’s how Tony came to life.
Our objectives were clear: create a lightweight frame with excellent flight characteristics and durability. While these aims are relatively straightforward with a standard 5-inch frame, working with a sub-250g 5” frame is an entirely different animal. We won’t pretend that this frame was developed without any compromises, but we’ve given our all to make it a frame you’ll eagerly take out to fly day after day!
Tony is a straightforward and easy-to-build platform, fully O3-ready, equipped with our signature CNC aluminum camera plates to ensure your valuable camera remains maximally protected during all types of crashes. It’s also compatible with analog cameras, VTX, as well as the HDZERO and Walksnail HD systems (Please verify dimensions for compatibility with all VTXs).
We highly recommend using AIO flight controllers to keep the weight as light as possible, although a 20×20 mini stack will also work well.
For instance, to achieve a sub-250g configuration in our test builds, we utilized a 40A AIO FC, CADDX Vista Nebula Pro, 2004 FlyFishRC Flash motors, TBS Crossfire Nano, bi-blade HQ props, GNB HV 380mAh 6S battery, and one battery strap, resulting in an all-up weight of 248.7g.
However, if your intention is to use this frame with the DJI O3 system, the all-up weight of such a setup will increase to around 260g, as the O3 is notably heavier than the Vista. In this case, if staying under 250g is crucial, you might contemplate using a 4S version of the same battery or stripping down the O3 to shave off some of the excess weight.
Overall, Tony is an exciting frame that offers an incredibly enjoyable flying experience. It provides a distinct feeling of being nimble yet not overly floaty due to its lightness. Get your own Tony today and share your feedback online; we’d love to hear about your experience!

- Carbon fiber is a popular material choice for FPV drone frames due to its strength, durability, and lightweight properties.
- Carbon fiber frames provide a higher strength-to-weight ratio than traditional materials, resulting in better performance and maneuverability.
- Carbon fiber composites are resistant to impacts and vibrations, which helps to protect the drone’s sensitive electronics and maintain stability during flight.
- The use of carbon fiber materials in FPV drones also enables faster acceleration, higher speeds, and longer flight times, resulting in a better overall experience for the pilot.
- Carbon fiber is also an excellent thermal conductor, helping to dissipate heat generated by high-powered motors and batteries, thus preventing damage to the drone’s components.
- FPV drone enthusiasts should consider carbon fiber frames when purchasing a new drone or upgrading their existing one to achieve optimal performance and durability.
- Carbon fiber frames are available in a range of sizes and configurations, suitable for different types of drones, including racing, freestyle, and long-range drones.
- When purchasing a carbon fiber frame, consider factors such as weight, stiffness, and compatibility with other components to ensure the best performance for your FPV drone.
- Carbon fiber frames may be more expensive than other frame materials, but their long-lasting durability and performance benefits make them a worthwhile investment for serious FPV drone pilots.
- The FPV Project offers a wide range of carbon fiber frames, suitable for all types of FPV drones, ensuring that enthusiasts have access to the latest technology and the best possible flying experience.
