Catalyst MachineWorks Merica - The Catalyst MachineWorks Merica frame uses an aerodynamically efficient arm design that is thin without sacrificing crash durability. Standard with the kit for Catalyst MachineWorks Merica are 3.5mm thick arms. the Catalyst MachineWorks Merica Arm design is not the only contributing factor for great aero. You also need a 'slippery' center fuselage that gives as little resistance to the oncoming air as possible. Merica's 'head' is a TPU canopy that is designed to have a very low drag coefficient.
The Catalyst MachineWorks Merica comes standard with high quality 4mm thick arms. Carbon fiber grain direction in aligned with the length of the arm for maximum crash toughness and rigidity. The entire top section of the frame is a flexible TPU canopy. During a crash this structure will move and give instead of breaking like a carbon fiber top plate.
The Catalyst MachineWorks Merica flight controller and FPV camera are mounted to the TPU canopy. You read that correct. The FC is NOT mounted to the carbon fiber frame. Mounting the FC to the TPU canopy means that any board you choose is soft mounted by default. The canopy is made of a flexible material and works to de-couple the board from the motors. The FPV camera is mounted at the top of the canopy. This mounting scenario helps to dampen vibration before it reaches your camera.
LIGHT WEIGHT:
Dry frame weight with all included fasteners and canopy comes to only 42g.
QUICK CHANGE MODULAR ARMS:
The Merica's arms are removable. They are held to the center fuselage by two screws. Field removal is super fast and can be completed within 5 minutes. Simply remove the outer screw, loosen the inner screw, remove the motor, and the arm is off.
