FlyFishnRC Tony 5 Sub250 FPV Freestyle Frame with Carbon Brazing and 4mm Arms

The FlyFishnRC Tony 5 is a purpose-built Sub250 FPV freestyle frame designed to keep your build under the 250g weight limit while delivering the stiffness needed for aggressive flying. Carbon brazing technology bonds the carbon fibre layers without adding extra weight, giving you a rigid platform that responds instantly to control inputs. With 4mm thick arms and 4mm CNC side plates, this frame can handle the bumps and scrapes of freestyle practice and race gates. The 215mm wheelbase keeps the quad compact and agile, perfect for tight indoor or outdoor circuits.

Features and Construction

Every component of the Tony 5 frame is made from precision-cut carbon fibre, with thicknesses chosen to balance weight saving with strength. The modular design simplifies building and maintenance.

Arm and Plate Design

The machine arms are 4mm thick, offering substantial resistance to flex during hard turns and crashes. Top, middle, and baseboard plates are each 2mm thick. The CNC side plates add 4mm of lateral stiffness, so the frame stays square even after heavy impacts.

Mounting Compatibility

The flight tower installation uses 20x20mm or 25.5x25.5mm hole spacing, both at 19mm height. The video transmitter uses the same patterns and 19mm height. Camera side plates accept 19mm or 20mm camera mounts. Motor mounting holes are spaced at 12x12mm.

Size and Weight Specifications

The overall frame measures 133.7 x 168 x 29mm, with a wheelbase of 215mm. The motor circlip aperture is φ5mm. These dimensions make the Tony 5 compatible with typical 5-inch propellers and standard Sub250 electronics.

Uses and Placement

This frame is built for FPV freestyle pilots who want a lightweight but tough platform that stays legal in Sub250 categories. It works equally well on race tracks and in park freestyle sessions.

FPV Racing and Gate Runs

The 215mm wheelbase offers quick directional changes and stable cornering. The 4mm arms resist twisting during high-G turns. The frame's low weight helps you hit tighter lines without sacrificing battery life.

Freestyle and Trick Flying

Carbon brazing keeps the frame responsive for flips, rolls, and split-S manoeuvres. The stiff centre section keeps your flight controller and camera aligned for crisp video feeds. The 19mm stack height gives you room for common FPV components.

Benefits and Buying Value

Choosing the Tony 5 means you get a frame built for real-world freestyle flying, not a fragile weight-weenie design. The combination of 4mm arms, carbon brazing, and CNC side plates gives you a durable airframe that you can trust lap after lap.

Durability in Hard Landings

Thicker plates and brazed joints absorb more impact energy before cracking. If you do break an arm, the frame design makes replacement straightforward without needing to dismantle the whole quad.

Sub250 Compliance Without Compromise

Staying under 250g with a 5-inch freestyle frame usually means cutting corners. The Tony 5 proves you can have a stiff, durable frame that still meets the Sub250 limit. This opens up flying at parks and legal sites without extra restrictions.
