FlyFishnRC Tony 5 Sub250 FPV Freestyle Carbon Brazing Frame for 5-Inch Builds

Building a sub-250g FPV freestyle quad demands a frame that is both lightweight and stiff. The FlyFishnRC Tony 5 uses carbon brazing construction to reduce weight while maintaining the rigidity required for aggressive flips, rolls, and split-S manoeuvres. Its 215mm wheelbase is sized for 5-inch propellers, fitting neatly into the sub-250g class. Black colour option is available.

Features and Construction

The frame is built around a carbon brazing process that bonds layers without excess material. This gives a clean, strong structure suitable for freestyle flying.

Material and Build

Carbon fibre arms are 4mm thick, while the top, middle, and base plates each measure 2mm. The CNC side plate is 4mm thick. This combination delivers a balanced stiffness profile for handling high-thrust motors without flexing excessively during hard turns.

Size and Practical Fit

The overall frame dimensions are 133.7 x 168 x 29mm, with a 215mm wheelbase. Motor mounting holes are 12x12mm, and the flying tower installation height is 19mm, with hole distances of 20x20mm or 25.5x25.5mm. Camera side plate spacing is 19/20mm, allowing compatibility with many popular micro cameras and VTX units.

Uses and Placement

The Tony 5 is built for FPV freestyle pilots who want to push their skills without exceeding the sub-250g weight limit. It suits both park flying and race practice.

Event or Professional Use

For competitive freestyle or local race events, the Tony 5 offers a stiff platform that responds predictably to control inputs. The 4mm arms absorb some impact, reducing the chance of component damage in a minor crash.

Everyday Home Use

Recreational pilots will appreciate the frame's light weight, which allows for longer flight times on smaller batteries. The carbon brazing construction reduces vibrations, resulting in smoother video footage from onboard cameras.

Benefits and Buying Value

Choosing the right frame can make or break a build. The Tony 5 delivers solid construction at a reasonable weight.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

The frame is designed for straightforward assembly and disassembly. Arms can be replaced individually if damaged, extending the life of the central frame plates. Standard M3 hardware (not included) is used throughout.

Why Choose This Product

If you need a sub-250g frame that does not compromise on stiffness, the Tony 5 is a strong candidate. Its carbon brazing build, 4mm arms, and proven geometry make it a reliable choice for 5-inch freestyle FPV quads.
