Micro Alien FPV Quadcopter Frame (3" / 4")

For those that like their micro quads to truly be micro sized, the new 3" and 4" prop Micro Alien FPV Frame brings huge fun in a small package. We scaled down the full-sized Alien to fit modern 20x20 electronics, taking great care to preserve the proportions so that the iconic design is instantly recognizable.

The release of the original Alien design and geometry was a watermark moment for the industry, three years later and now you can just about fit one in your pocket. Fans of the original will love the scale features and attention to detail, from the gumetal M2.5 high tensile hardware down to the custom M2.5 replica cone washers and tiny lipo pad. Of course, no Alien would ever be complete without our classic and perfectly scaled down micro diamond files.

Not only does it look amazing, the performance is just as good. At a compact 135mm motor-to-motor and weighing only 33g dry, the Micro Alien handles how a micro frame really should. The only thing out of proportion here is the amount of fun you can have in something so portable. It really can be taken and flown anywhere. This all makes for a tight build but the rewards for keeping small and light are definitely worth it.

Paired with the Runcam Split Mini 2 and using the correct electronics (see below!) the Micro Alien can pump out flawless HD video without any visible jello. You can build it under 100g without battery on 11xx sized motors, or you can opt for all out power and speed, using the new ImpulseRC 1408 3200kV motors we designed and matched specifically for this size of frame, and come in healthily under 250g AUW (including battery).

Aliens are well known for their durability and the new Micro variety is no different. Incorporating removable arms that can be replaced with just a single bolt makes maintenance quick and simple, meaning you are always prepared for the worst. On top of that we went all out to make sure we could bring you the frame and spares at a great low price so you can fly without fear.
