This is NewBeeDrone's first 5inch light weight frame for racing and freestyle.
Introducing the Turismo Frame. The Turismo Frame is an offering for the ultralight 5inch enthusiast who wants a versatile, ultralight frame to build a locked-in setup with a sturdy roll-cage for the ‘goods’ inside. Pairing this frame with a whoop-size AIO board, then we suggest a build with an analog vtx setup or set it up with the Caddx Vista for that digital HD cruising. If you decide to pair this ultralight frame with a signature NewBeeDrone 20x20 series stacks (Infinity200 or CricketFPV stack) then an analog vtx build is the way to go.
At-A-Glance Frame Breakdown:
Motor Layout Type: Stretched-X configuration (longer front-to-back, than side-to-side)
Motor-to-Motor: 211mm
Cam Mounting: 14x14mm
Motor Mounting hole spacing: 4-holes spaced on a 12mm diameter

Include: Top Plate x1 Bottom Plate x1 Side Camera Plate x2 Arm left x2 Arm Right x2 Cross Plate x2 3D Print Part Arm edge protect x4 3D Print Part Vista mount x1
The overall design & engineering is very unusual compared most frames. I'm very interested to see how durable it is.

Good, but could be better
I bought the Turismo with the full intent of mounting a 20x20 stack. When it got here I realized I wanted a Mamba, so I set off to convert a $50 frame to fit all my gear. I printed an adapter board and turned the stack so the front actually faces the front (the 45 degree thing really wasn’t my bag)…a bunch of modifying and it turned out great! I just wish that for $50 they’d have included a means of mounting a carbon fiber plate to turn the stack and allow for larger bolt patterns. Also, offer different arm sizes to accommodate larger motor bolt patterns. I had to model and print those too. I wish this review app had the means of adding pics, as I’m not much of a wordsmith. Overall, good…but for price point a few more options would be appreciated.
Good flier, handles the abuse a new flier like me has put it through
First prebuild from NBD. I swapped out the tracer RX for crossfire, initially had a no gyro flag on the AIO but was able to get it sorted with NBD support. Flying it is a good time and it’s held up well to some decent crashes. So far only thing(s) I’ve needed to replace has been a propeller and a M3x20 standoff. Took me too long to notice but the 2 aluminum pieces are for taking the O3 air unit from 25x25 mounting and making it 20x20.
