PIRAT Shorty 5″ FPV Drone Frame Kit
Introducing the PIRAT Shorty 5″ Frame Kit, an FPV frame engineered for the ultimate in freestyle versatility and durability. This cutting-edge chassis allows you to choose your preferred flight characteristic without buying a new frame, and it’s built with premium materials to withstand the rigors of aggressive flying. It’s the perfect, adaptable foundation for a no-compromise FPV drone build.
Choose Your Geometry: True-X or Squished-X
The standout feature of the PIRAT Shorty is its innovative arm design. A single set of arms can be configured in two different ways, allowing you to tailor the frame to your flying style:
- True-X: Provides a perfectly symmetrical and balanced flight characteristic, ideal for pilots who love a predictable and responsive feel on all axes.
- Squished-X: Offers a more “locked-in” feel on the pitch axis and can provide a slightly wider camera view, a favorite for many freestyle pilots.
Engineered for Durability & Performance
This frame is built to be abused. It features reinforced top and bottom plates, robust 7075 aluminum parts, and high-quality 12.9-grade dacromet steel screws with premium T10 Torx heads for superior strip resistance. The design also incorporates vibration-dampening by separating the flight stack screws from the arm mounting, leading to cleaner gyro performance and a smoother FPV drone.
Optimized for Modern Freestyle
Every detail is designed for the modern freestyle pilot. The frame supports a “toilet tank” battery setup with multiple slots to perfectly adjust the center of gravity based on your battery and HD camera choice. With clearance for up to 5.2-inch propellers, you can get extra grip and thrust. Maintenance is also a breeze with quick, two-screw arm changes.
