Here are my recommendations : * https://www.cncmadness.com (US/CA, amazing quality & service) Get the dxf files and send them to the services mentioned above. I recommend you to ask for the following stuff : * 1x main-plate : 3mm (and only 3 otherwise side plates won’t fit) thick CF with chamfered arms * 2x side plates : 2mm thick CF (you can even go 3mm) You will need some additional 15mm standoffs to link the side plates. The easiest option is nylon standoffs with long screws to hold the plates firmly As an alternative [you can get this frame on Armattan Productions](https://armattanproductions.com/pages/kit_detail/2650) # Gear recommandations The gear below have been personally tested or recommended by trustworthy persons. Should make some great builds. A lot of links are Banggood affiliated and using them will bring me a few pences at no cost for you. ### Motors The 3 inch motors recommended for a TP3 style build would work nicely. You can also pick some bigger/beefier motors for 3/4S setups (think 1108, 1206/07, 1304, etc). ### Flight Controllers (Whoop size, 26x26mm mount holes) * [GEP-20A-F4 AIO](https://www.banggood.com/GEPRC-GEP-20A-F4-AIO-F4-MPU6000-Flight-Controller-OSD-20A-Blheli_S-2-4S-Brushless-ESC-26_526_5mm-p-1607659.html?p=SI190238022477201908) * [BetaFPV Toothpick F4 1-4S 20A](https://betafpv.com/products/toothpick-f4-20a-aio-brushless-flight-controller) * [FLYWOO GOKU GN413S F411 F4 13A AIO](https://flywoo.net/collections/fc-esc/products/flywoo-goku-gn413s-f411-f4-flight-controller-aio-osd-bec-13a-bl_s-2-4s-4in1-esc-for-rc-drone-fpv-racing) * [Diatone Mamba F411AIO 13A 4S](https://www.diatone.us/collections/mamba-stack/products/mamba-f411aio-dshot600-4s-1) * [BetaFPV Toothpick F4 2-4S 12A](https://betafpv.com/collections/brushless-flight-controller/products/f4-2-4s-aio-brushless-fc-12a-for-toothpick) * [NameLessRC AIO412T F411](https://www.banggood.com/NameLessRC-AIO412T-F411-Flight-Controller-MPU6000-2-4S-HV-5V2_5A-BEC-p-1547589.html?p=SI190238022477201908) * [NameLessRC AIO412 F4](https://www.banggood.com/NameLessRC-AIO412-F4-Flight-Controller-AIO-OSD-BEC-Built-in-12A-BL_S-2-4S-ESC-for-Tinywhoop-FPV-Racing-Drone-p-1530337.html?p=SI190238022477201908) * [BetaFPV F4 AIO 12A FC](https://betafpv.com/products/f4-2-4s-aio-brushless-flight-controller-12a-blheli_s) * [GEPRC GEP-12A-F4](https://www.banggood.com/GEPRC-GEP-12A-F4-V1_1-F411-F4-Flight-Controller-AIO-OSD-BEC-12A-BL_S-2-4S-4In1-ESC-for-RC-Drone-FPV-Racing-p-1474473.html?p=SI190238022477201908) ### FPV Cameras (standalone, 14x14 format) * [Runcam Nano 2](https://www.banggood.com/RunCam-Nano-2-13-700TVL-1_8mm2_1mm-FOV-155170-Degree-CMOS-FPV-Camera-for-FPV-RC-Drone-p-1469656.html?p=SI190238022477201908) * [RunCam Racer Nano](https://www.banggood.com/Runcam-Racer-Nano-CMOS-700TVL-1_8mm2_1mm-Super-WDR-Smallest-FPV-Camera-6ms-Low-Latency-Gesture-Control-Integrated-OSD-for-FPV-Racer-Drone-p-1468281.html?p=SI190238022477201908) * [Foxeer Predator V4 Nano](https://www.banggood.com/Foxeer-Predator-4-Nano-Super-WDR-4ms-Low-Latency-1000TVL-FPV-Racing-Camera-OSD-43-169-NTSC-PAL-for-RC-Drone-p-1529597.html?p=SI190238022477201908) * [Caddx EOS2](https://www.banggood.com/Caddx-Turbo-EOS2-43-1200TVL-2-1mm-13-CMOS-Mini-FPV-Camera-NTSCPAL-For-RC-Drone-p-1309237.html?p=SI190238022477201908) ### VTX+DVR combos * [NamelessRC D400 VTX+DVR](http://www.fullspeedrc.com/nlrc-d400_p0230.html) * [Eachine TriangleD VTX+DVR](https://www.banggood.com/Eachine-TriangleD-5_8G-40CH-25100200400mW-Switchable-Triangle-AV-FPV-Transmitter-VTX-With-DVR-Support-Smart-Audio-Tramp-for-Tinywhoop-p-1604198.html?p=SI190238022477201908) * [HappyModel Diamond VTX+DVR](https://www.banggood.com/Happymodel-Diamond-5_8Ghz-40CH-25100200mW-Switchable-VTX-FPV-Transmitter-with-DVR-Smartaudio-Ready-3_3-5_5V-p-1527358.html?p=SI190238022477201908) ### 5.8 GHz Antennas * [Lumenier Micro AXII Shorty u.fl](https://www.banggood.com/Lumenier-Micro-AXII-Shorty-U_FL-5_8GHz-1_6dBi-FPV-Antenna-RHCP-LHCP-For-RC-Drone-p-1422409.html?p=SI190238022477201908) * [TBS Triumph Pro u.fl](https://www.team-blacksheep.com/products/prod:triumph_pro_ufl) * [Foxeer Lollipop 3 u.fl](https://www.banggood.com/2pcs-Foxeer-5_8G-Lollipop-3-RHCP-2_5DBi-Omni-FPV-Antenna-U_FL-for-RC-Drone-BlackRedPurpleFluorescent-Green-p-1472199.html?p=SI190238022477201908) ### Props : 3 inch * [Gemfan Hurricane 3016x3 (triblades)](https://www.banggood.com/2-Pairs-GEMFAN-3016-3-Inch-3-blade-PC-Propeller-1_5mm2mm-Hole-for-RC-Drone-FPV-Racing-p-1609433.html?p=SI190238022477201908) * [HQProps T3x2 / 3 inch](https://www.banggood.com/HQProp-T3X2-3Inch-Propeller-2-Blade-for-1104-1105-Brushless-Motor-FPV-Racing-Quadcopter-Mini-Drone-Toothpick-Frame-p-1543805.html?p=SI190238022477201908) * Gemfan Hurricane 3018 / 3 inch [1.5mm shaft @ BG](https://www.banggood.com/4-Pairs-Gemfan-Hurricane-3018-3x1_8-3-Inch-2-Blade-Propeller-1_5mm-Hole-T-Mount-for-RC-Drone-p-1576078.html?p=SI190238022477201908) [2mm shaft @ Amaxshop](https://www.amaxshop.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1043&search=3018) ### RX * [TBS Crossfire Nano](https://www.team-blacksheep.com/products/prod:crossfire_nano_rx) * [FrSky R-XSR](https://www.banggood.com/FrSky-R-XSR-Ultra-SBUSCPPM-D16-16CH-Mini-Redundancy-Receiver-1_5g-for-RC-Multirotor-FPV-Racing-Drone-p-1186057.html?p=SI190238022477201908) * [FrSky XM+](https://www.banggood.com/Frsky-XM-Micro-D16-SBUS-Full-Range-Mini-Receiver-Up-to-16CH-for-RC-FPV-Racing-Drone-p-1110020.html?p=SI190238022477201908)
