Shinobi Mk2

Class:  Shinobi

Our endurance class of FPV frames is called the Shinobi.  Translated as “one who endures,” the shinobi warrior class of feudal Japan were specialists in clandestine and unconventional warfare.  The Shinobi leverages the sub-250g frame design to maximize flight time while maintaining flight performance.

Version:  Mk2

Versatility and added rigidity were the primary focus of the Mk2 iteration of the Shinobi class.  The deadcat configuration was painstakingly designed to ensure propellers are not in view for most FPV cameras.  In addition to a 0.5mm thicker main plate, a detached brace plate now provides far a high level of camera protection as well as FPV view clearance.  The brace plate also also allows for a bottom-slung lipo for optimal long-range antenna clearance (20mm lipo strap width clearance).  Mid-fuselage “b” pillar standoffs were also incorporated providing port or starboard antenna mounting options.  With no increase in wheelbase compared to the Mk1, the increase in frame weight is the result of significantly increased rigidity.  Designed for 4-inch propellers, the 177mm MTM 50g frame (including hardware) provides a variety of front and rear stack mounting options.  All the seated clinch nuts are completely clear of the stacks.  Motor mounting is compatible with both 9mm and 12mm. The carbon fiber parts are cut from Toray T300 3K Twill matte black carbon fiber sheets.
