Iris F118E V3 Carbon Fibre Frame – 3″ Toothpick Perfection

Meet the Iris F118E V3 carbon fibre frame — a 9.4 g featherweight built for 3″ 1S–4S toothpick quads that actually want to fly, not just survive bench-tests. Now in its third evolution, this frame balances rigidity, float, and crash-tolerance better than your Sunday roast. And yes, it still laughs in the face of gravity memes from Rotor Riot.

Why You Want It

Because the V3 finally admits V1 had the better bones. We brought back the classic 118 mm layout, tuned the geometry, and opened up the inner holes so your vertical-USB FC finally fits without swearing. Whether you’re chasing flow in a car park or slicing gates at a local meet, this thing delivers pure, no-excuses agility — and a mild ego boost when your mate’s frame folds first. (Don’t worry, we’ll still sell him one.)

Specifications

• Wheelbase: 118 mm (aka “fits in your palm, terrifies your neighbours”)
• Weight: 9.4 g (about three Haribo, give or take)
• Material: 3 mm Carbon Fibre (because plastic is for whoops)
• FC Mounting Patterns: 25.4×25.4 mm & 20×20 mm (yes, both — pick your poison)
• Battery Support: 1S to 4S LiPo (depends how spicy you’re feeling)
• Design Heritage: V1 appearance revived for maximum rigidity and nostalgia points

What’s in the Box*

• 1× Iris F118E V3 Carbon Fibre Frame
• 1× Screw Set for Assembly

Compatibility

Supports vertical-USB flight controllers out of the box. Plays nicely with most 3″ toothpick stacks, including 1S–4S BetaFlight and DJI O3-friendly setups (we checked, so you don’t have to).

Disclaimer

Accessories may vary, but the carbon stays legit — we promise it’s not painted plastic pretending to be aerospace-grade.

Still Here?

Congrats, you’re the type who reads spec sheets for fun. If you made it this far, you already know this lightweight 3″ FPV frame is your next build’s backbone. Grab one before the next Raspberry Pi-style shortage hits — or just share it with that mate who still thinks 2 mm carbon “is fine.”
