Picture this: your quadcopter zipping through the sky, pulling off flips and dives without a worry about the frame giving out. That's the reality with these 500mm carbon fiber tubes. If you've ever had a drone crash because the arms bent or shattered, you know how frustrating it is to keep replacing cheap plastic or heavy metal parts.
Most entry-level drone arms are made from materials that prioritize cost over performance. They add unnecessary weight, which cuts into flight time, and they lack the rigidity needed for aggressive maneuvers. Crashes become costly, and repairs eat up your hobby time.
These aren't your average composites. Sourced entirely from Japan, each tube is 100% pure 3K carbon fiber, roll-wrapped for superior torsional strength and uniformity. At 500mm long (about 19.6 inches), with a precise 4mm inner diameter and 6mm outer diameter, they slot perfectly into standard quadcopter and multicopter designs. The matte surface isn't just for looks—it reduces glare during flights and gives a grippy texture for secure mounting.
Carbon fiber's magic lies in its strength-to-weight ratio: lighter than aluminum yet stiffer than steel. Your drone will hover steadier, respond quicker to controls, and survive hard landings better. Weighing next to nothing, these tubes extend battery life on every flight. They're versatile too—ideal for RC helicopters, fixed-wing airplanes, or even custom FPV racer frames.
I've used these on my 5-inch quads, swapping out bent arms after a tree-branch tangle. Cutting them to size is straightforward with a Dremel and fine-tooth blade—no splintering, just clean edges. Glue them in with epoxy, add your motors, and you're flying. They're rigid enough for 4S to 6S setups, holding up to 5kg all-up weight without flex. For beginners, start with a simple 250mm frame kit; pros, scale up to long-range cruisers.
Whether you're tinkering in the garage or competing at the field, these tubes from FANCYWING bring professional-grade materials to your workbench. Grab a set and feel the difference in every takeoff.
