7 Inch Long Range FPV Bird

Developer about the new

The iFlight Chimera7 is a super effi­cient 7″ long range bird that can go where you nev­er thought pos­si­ble before, able to car­ry big bat­ter­ies for extend­ed flight times to get your hands on the Swiss Alps if you want! The quad is built on a super rigid frame for min­i­mal res­o­nance, pow­ered by XING 2806.5 motors in tan­dem with 7″ props. Fly with large top mount­ed bat­ter­ies or even larg­er bot­tom mount­ed bat­ter­ies. To real­ize the max­i­mum poten­tial, it is bet­ter to use 6 cans of food, and for a mea­sured flight, 5 cans of Lipo / Lion will do with­out any prob­lems. Rec­om­mend­ed 5S 3000mAh or more (for slow cruis­ing) or 6S 2500mAh or more (for speed cruis­ing).
