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.

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.
I love NewBeeDrone, the Cockroach 65mm frames and the warranty. However, I decided to try the 75mm frame and have to say they are extremely fragile. I typically reinforce all my frames in the corners with e6000 and have added protection, but that did nothing to help here. I suspect this frame is just basic plastic and would love to see it in a more durable polycarbonate or even better a Polypropylene version.
The best batteries when you want the most quick and maneuverable 2s drone are New Bee's Nitro Nectars 300 maH. However when I want or need longer flight time, then these are my choice. Tattu and NewBee's batteries are the only batteries I use anymore!
