The Kaeru X1 is the new FPV racing frame from Aeroxcraft.

After many design iterations and testing we hit all the design criteria and the “Kaeru X1” was born. We thought it looked like a little frog and so we named it after the Japanese Kaeru good luck charm. The “X1” is because it is the first in a series of X configuration frames. There are more frame designs on the way for slightly different purposes that are all based on the same carbon/aluminium arms.

Intended for use with:

5” props

2204/2205/2206 motors

Up to 4S 1400mah battery

Features:

Tubular arms with room for ESC inside

FPV Camera easily adjustable from 0-45deg

FPV camera protected from impacts

Small cross section of the quad in fast forward flight in order to minimise aerodynamic drag

235mm Diagonal motor to motor

Totally square between the motors

Centre of gravity in the dead centre of the frame

Centre of gravity near the plane of the propellers for flight balance

Allow plenty of room for the battery, flight and FPV gear. Will fit Fatshark size VTX.

Incredibly strong, rigid and light

Tubular Arms

We developed our unique tubular carbon fibre and aluminium bonded arms for the Kaeru and they are integral to its design. We chose to bond the arms together rather than using fasteners to save weight and give a cleaner look. The bonding process we have developed results a very strong join and in destructive testing we find that the carbon tube fails before the bonding fails. The carbon fibre arm tube has an internal diameter of 14mm which allows the ESC to fit inside. We've been using the 20amp Little Bee ESC which we've found to be perfect. The tubular arms help to maximise the thrust from the props as the airflow over the arm is much smoother than with a flat plate style arm. From our testing we reckon there's up to 10% more thrust with this style of arm.
