Squashed (wide) X frame — dimension sheet
Source: Xem Studio, https://xemstudio.com/objects/squashed-x-frame/  (sheet CC BY 4.0; files Xem Studio Design License, https://xemstudio.com/license/)
Basis: Design rules and figures from the cited sources; example geometry by Xem Studio
Catalog version: 2026-10-20

Sizes: see table below
- A squashed X is wider than it is long; freestyle pilots say it gives smooth rolls (IntoFPV). Roll authority is highest and pitch reduced, which may need higher pitch P-gain (UAVModel).
- Props partly show; a camera mounted 5-10 mm ahead of the standoffs can clear them (UAVModel).
- The file is a reference example built by Xem Studio from the numbers above (Reference 5-inch build: 220 mm diagonal within Grepow's 210-250 mm class for 5 in props.). Sizes the sources do not fix are illustrative; scale the example to your own vehicle.
