so anyway i've been running an iFlight Nazgul for about a year and a half and it's been pretty solid but i bent another arm last week (third time, yes i know, im working on the whole not crashing into concrete thing) and im at the point where im wondering if i should just grab a Diatone frame and start fresh rather than keep ordering iFlight spare parts

the build quality on the Nazgul has been fine honestly, no complaints about the motors or the stack, but the frame itself feels a bit plasticky compared to some of the stuff ive seen people running. Diatone Roma stuff looks way more solid in terms of carbon thickness but i genuinely dont know anyone locally who's run one so its hard to know if that translates to real world durability or if im just being fooled by specs on a product page

not really looking to spend more than like 80-90 on a frame, motors im probably going to reuse from the nazgul since they're still good. anyone been through both and have thoughts

ran a Diatone Roma F5 for most of last year, the carbon is noticeably thicker and stiffer than a lot of the chinese mass market stuff. had one pretty nasty concrete impact and the arm cracked but didnt fully snap so i could still fly home which is more than i can say for some other frames ive had. replacement arms are easy to find too which matters

iFlight stuff is fine but i always felt like they optimized for looking good in promo photos more than actual durability, might be unfair but thats my impression. the Diatone motors that come in their combo kits are decent but nothing special, since youre reusing motors anyway just get the frame only and youll be good

tbh at that price range you might also want to look at TBS (Team BlackSheep) Source One if you havent already, its open source so the community has basically stress tested every version of it to death and you can find honest reviews that aren't just someone who got a free unit. not as flashy as the Roma but the 5mm arms on the v5 are genuinely hard to kill

i have no beef with Diatone either though, just throwing it out there since you're already reconsidering. either way ditch the iFlight frame, youve given it enough chances lol
