Element6Drones – Apex 5″ Racing Quad ♠ [ FPV DRONE BUILD ]
Hey YouTube, we are kicking off another badass Build & Review series on a brand new prototype frame that was sent to me byElement6Drones a local frame maker based in Toronto.. The Apex 5″ was designed from the ground up to be a racer so it is extremely lightweight and streamlined to reduce drag.
Clocking in at 54 grams, I cannot wait to put this purebred racer to the test!

Hey good info as usual keep up the great work
Can’t wait to see how it turns out
Not to nit pick, but did your weight include all 5 arms (spare)?
Hi Lucas!
Good to see you talk again, all stuffed with that hot infos we need!
Man, I am really looking forward to watch you build this little speedo monster! =)
I finally managed to get the 12 awg wire to the cl racing f4 battery pads, bummer! xD Was a pain in the butt, need a new tip for my iron since I’m afraid to grill the board. Can’t get it to stay nice and clean any more that tip.
To get to the important stuff:
Where are you gonna solder that 5V VTX to? I’ve got the TBS unify pro 5V version, the 7,3 on top will be too much and the 3,… will be not enough I guess. Any 5V pads at the bottom?
Sorry for the kinda impatient question, got a multimeter but silly me not having the xt60 on the board wires yet, and soon gonna solder some battery plug to a crimp cable like you have it there for measuring and trying stuff.
After all, this building and improvising to get to the great goal of flying is really becoming a blast for me!
Another short one:
Connecting a frsky x4rsb, and I want to get that lua script going for tuning right on the Taranis at flight. Sooo.. Smartport signal to any free uart, need to be uninverted or is the pure signal fine?
And the Telemetry signal pad, does it take the frsky telemetry or do I have to do that uninvert hack on the rx?
Soo many questions, you are my first choice victim, I really appreciate your work and your effort for us here!
Anytime you visit Europe, come to Berlin I’ll show you some badass spots!
Greetz, Oli
