Ares 17 Inch 775mm Carbon Fiber Heavy-Lift Quadcopter Frame

The Ares 17-inch is a 775mm-wheelbase quadcopter frame built to carry weight rather than chase flight time. It suits sensor platforms, delivery prototypes and heavy cinema rigs where a stiff centre section matters more than a few grams.

Key features

• 3K T300 carbon fibre with 10mm arms for 17-inch props
• 4mm bottom and mid plates plus a 4mm reinforcement plate at the arm joints
• 2mm carbon side plates tie the stack together and resist twisting at full load, a feature the smaller 13 and 15-inch Ares frames do without
• 1060g frame weight, with an all-up weight beyond 2.5kg once batteries and payload are fitted

Plan the power system around 17-inch props: large low-KV motors and 6S or higher packs are the usual pairing for a frame of this size.
