Pinkyzup PZ5
5" Freestyle Frame
Designed with Max (@maxx_frames). Built for 5" freestyle — stiff, light, and designed to survive the kind of flying that breaks other frames. Fly it. Crash it. Make it yours.
Built Because It Needed to Exist
The PZ5 started because of a problem most beginners know all too well: you buy a cheap starter frame, crash it once, and watch it crack, split, or flex in ways that make you question every build decision you made.
Pinkyzup set out to fix that.
The goal was never to build an overpriced race-spec frame that costs more than the components it holds. The goal was to build something durable enough to survive the learning curve without punishing your wallet every time it hits the ground.
This frame started as a personal project with the homie Max of @maxx_frames — a designer I trust and someone who is genuinely skilled at what he does.
There was no market research. No big profit plan. I just wanted to build a frame that felt like mine. Something I was excited to fly, crash, rebuild, and fly again.
meant to be public.
The PZ5 is the result of that mindset. Inspired by what already works, but intentionally refined: keeping the good parts, fixing the weak spots, and improving the details that actually matter when you are the one flying it.
The result — a 5-inch freestyle frame built for real-world flying. Squished X layout. 6mm arms. 2.5mm bottom plates. Thick where it matters. Designed by people who actually fly.
Make it yours.
Built With Intent
Tighter motor-to-motor stance on the front for sharper handling and cleaner prop wash management. Not a classic X. Not a stretched X. Something in between that actually flies better for freestyle.
Arms are where most frames fail first. 6mm thickness means they flex instead of snap, absorbing impact and coming out the other side. You'll break props before you break these arms.
The bottom plates protect your ESC and flight controller the way they should be. 2.5mm means your electronics aren't riding on paper. Your stack is protected from the bottom up.
Compatible with the most common stack sizes on the market. No hunting for specific components. Plug in what you've already got or what makes sense for your budget.
Arms, plates, camera parts — all available individually. A crash doesn't mean buying a whole new frame. Swap the broken part and you're back flying the same day.
Full 3D print kit available in 25+ colors including custom. Personalize your build the way you want it. The frame was designed with prints in mind from day one.
