Archetype

This is the frame only — no electronics, no props, just the foundation built for a clean, durable build.

When I designed the Archetype, I wanted something that actually made sense to build — open, clean, and tough enough to take real hits. The inside is wide and uncluttered, so building it feels easy instead of like surgery. The 5mm arms give it that solid, planted feel in the air, and yeah… they can take a crash or two.

It’s built around a 4-inch setup because I love how nimble and snappy it feels — but if you want a little more punch, it’ll happily swing 4.5-inch props too. Made from T700 carbon, with airflow risers, flexible stack options, and a bunch of custom 3D prints that make it all fit just right — this is the frame I wanted to fly myself. Simple, strong, and ready to build.
