The Samurai Rotorama is an uncompromising frame created for the sole purpose of delivering ultimate flight characteristics with minimal weight and low aerodynamic drag. The frame offers separable arms of the highest quality carbon which we have carefully chosen. The arms are made of 5mm carbon while the other parts of the frame are 3mm thick. The weight of the frame is only 44 grams, making it one of the lightest frames for 5" propellers. All screws are titanium already in the standard set.
The basic shape of the copter is long X (or also stretched X): the distance between the front and rear motors is larger than between the left and right motors. As a result, rear motors and propellers get less turbulent airflow, which in turn increases the stability and efficiency of the copter.
The arms are separable and easily replaceable. When an arm breaks during a really tough crash, it is sufficient to undo two bolts and the arm can be freely pulled out and replaced with another one. You can be back in the air in a few minutes. The arms are also very narrow, making the frame highly aerodynamic. To get the full advantage of the narrow arms, we recommend using a 4in1 ESC; regular ESC can still be attached to the arms when needed.
Inside, all standard FCs and 4-in-1 ESCs with a 30.5mm mounting distance (SP Racing F3, Omnibus F3/F4, BetaflightF3, Matek PDB, Racerstar 4in1 ESC, ...) can be fitted. The frame has been designed for the Runcam Swift Micro or Foxeer Arrow Micro; any other micro camera with a maximum width of 20 mm can be fitted as well. As the VTX we recommend Eachine VTX03 or TBS Unify Pro paired with a minimalistic antenna like Actuna Vee Mini.
The Rotorama Katana 2204 2700KV motors are an essential addition to the Samurai frame. Combined with the HQ5x43x3 propellers, this set can deliver a power-to-weight ratio of up to about 13:1 with the total weight of about 295g including the battery.
A complete range of spare parts is available for the frame:
The frame has a sophisticated design that makes it resistant for its weight. All components are well protected and easily accessible at the same time.
The frame is also available in as complete set with the best suitable components.
