JeNo 5.1" - PlatyStyle Edition

Context :

Jerome and Nochamo from the WeAreFPV French community developed an Open Source DJI O3 Oriented Frame named “JeNo”.

I was really interested in it but as it is meant to be used with an O3 my Analog setup had way too much useless room in the deck for this specific need.

The project :

The JeNo 5.1" - PlatyStyle Edition (It's quite an egocentric name but it really is what it is haha) has been fully crafted around my gear with no compromises and strictly no wasted spare room : Low profile, super compact and lightweight to get the most out of the Frame concept.

Changes : 

Most of the excellent structural base, arms and cam plates mountings remains identical as the combo has proven to be working fantastically on blackbox logs. The only thickness change that has been made is :

• 5.5mm Arms : Originally 6mm, for weight saving purposes yet to keep it durable enough to withstand reasonable impacts.

The main changes are very easy to spot next to the original design as they're directly impacting the frame Lenght and Height, the ultimate goal is to make the frame as compact as possible

• Split Deck Design : Full deck height isn't required on the back of the Frame to squeeze an Analog VTX and a Receiver, so a traditional Apex-Style Split deck will make it Low Profile and allow for easy maintenance if you ever break the Front plate.
• 15mm Slammed deck : Standard deck height is 20mm on most frames, If you play around with gummies you can easily fit any stack in a 15mm deck height.
• Shortened Rear part : Just enough room to fit a 20x20 Analog VTX
• Shortened Front part : Just enough room to fit a 19x19 Analog cam and a capacitor
• Reworked Cam Plates : They're still 3mm thick to keep great durability on the front part, but are lower and shorter with adapted mounting holes for 19x19 Cam. They have also been adjusted to 30deg tilt, because that's what I fly.

Room on the Deck :

It might be the first question that comes to your mind when looking at how much shorter the frame is : it barely fits a 6s 1150mAh an a DJI Action 2. 

And again that's the point, making it as compact as possible for this specific setup. It's totally flyable without an Action Cam too but you won't fit a Hero 12 Full on there without having it exposed at the front.

There is a toilet tank battery mounting strap cuts but the deck is too low - props touches my battery in this situation (You might be able to get it to work with different battery/Motor/Prop setup.

Final Weight :

It will depend on what screws you're using, mine sits at 110g with Titanium Screws everywhere except Arms, and Stack.

Here are the weights of my Freestyle setup with different configuration : Naked, With Battery, and with Battery + DJI Action 2.

Pretty solid ! I'm happy with the results !

How to get it : 

It's an Open Source project, I won't be selling the frame but the source files are available for download, send it to your favorite carbon cutting company !
