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 Joshua 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 20×20 and 30×30 stack mounting in the center (and 20×20 mounting in the rear) that lets you take care of your electronics stack without the need to alter the frame structure and overall build.
