• Extreme Range Capability: Achieve 30km+ missions with proper configuration – pushing the absolute boundaries of what FPV can achieve

• Professional-Grade Footage: The massive platform absorbs turbulence and vibration, delivering gimbal-like smoothness even in challenging conditions

X-Type Architecture – Precision Agility at Industrial Scale

The Mars platform's pure X-Type configuration offers distinct advantages for industrial-scale applications:

• Superior Agility: More balanced roll and pitch response makes the Mars 17" feel remarkably responsive and predictable despite its imposing size

• Optimized Aerodynamics: Improved propeller wash dynamics reduce turbulent interference for smoother, more efficient flight

• Symmetrical Power Distribution: Perfectly balanced motor geometry delivers locked-in handling essential for precision operations and professional-grade footage

• Unobstructed Forward View: The X-type design provides an ideal field of view for professional cinematography and sensor operations – critical for capturing the perfect shot

10mm Ultra-Thick Arms – Industrial-Strength Durability

The Mars 17" features 10mm thick carbon fiber arms – the gold standard for extreme heavy-lift applications:

• Absolute Rigidity: Zero flex or resonance even under extreme thrust, maximum payloads, and aggressive flight maneuvers

• Unprecedented Impact Resistance: Engineered to protect high-value professional equipment from the inevitable challenges of field operations

• Vibration-Free Performance: Perfect motor alignment ensures flawless, cinematic-grade footage free from high-frequency artifacts

• Long-Term Reliability: Built to withstand thousands of flight hours in demanding professional environments

4.0mm Bottom/Middle Plates – Maximum Core Rigidity

The Mars 17" features 4.0mm thick bottom and middle plates – the thickest in our entire lineup:

• Extreme Torsional Stiffness: Eliminates frame twist during heavy lifts and aggressive maneuvers

• Superior Electronic Protection: A fortress-like core that shields FC/ESC stacks from impact forces and vibration

• Enhanced Thread Engagement: Thicker plates provide superior hold for standoffs and screws, ensuring build integrity over time

• Natural Vibration Damping: The increased mass and rigidity absorb high-frequency oscillations for smoother flight

4.0mm Support Plates – Reinforced for Extreme Loads

The Mars 17" sets a new standard with dedicated 4.0mm support plates, a feature exclusive to this flagship model:

• Enhanced Structural Bracing: Provides additional reinforcement between arms and the central core, distributing stress more evenly across the massive 775mm wheelbase

• Superior Crash Protection: Adds an extra layer of protection for your electronics and payload in the event of an impact

• Improved Torsional Rigidity: Further reduces frame flex during high-G maneuvers and heavy payload lifts

• Confidence-Inspiring Durability: Engineered for professionals who push their equipment to the absolute limit

Premium 3K T300 Carbon Fiber – Professional-Grade Construction

Every component is precision CNC-machined from genuine 3K T300 carbon fiber:

775mm Wheelbase – The Stability Benchmark

The monumental 775mm wheelbase is the foundation of the Mars 17" industrial capability:

• Exceptional Wind Resistance: Maintains stable hover and smooth flight in gusty conditions that challenge all other platforms

• Predictable Flight Dynamics: The expansive footprint provides locked-in, confidence-inspiring handling for precision operations

• Optimal Propeller Clearance: Ample spacing for 17-inch and even 18-inch propeller configurations

• Balanced Weight Distribution: Accommodates complex payload configurations with ideal center of gravity

⚠️ Important Build Recommendations:

• Motors: We recommend 50xx to 60xx series motors (e.g., 5016, 5215, 6010, 6012) with appropriate KV ratings for 17-inch propellers (typically 200–350KV on 8S–16S)

• ESCs: Ensure your ESC is rated for at least 100A continuous per motor; 120A–150A recommended for aggressive flying with maximum payloads

• Battery: 8S to 16S LiPo or LiHV configurations recommended for optimal performance and efficiency

• Propellers: 17-inch bi-blade or tri-blade – high-quality balanced propellers are essential for vibration-free footage

• Standoff Note: Due to the 4.0mm plate thickness, the included standoffs are specifically sized for proper stack height – no additional spacers required

• Build Weight: Expect all-up weight ranging from 3.5kg to 8kg+ depending on payload configuration – plan your power system and CG accordingly

• Flight Controller: We recommend high-performance F7/H7 flight controllers with vibration-damping mounting for optimal performance at this scale

• GPS: Dual GPS modules recommended for redundancy in extreme-range missions

• Radio System: Long-range radio systems (Crossfire, ELRS, or 900MHz systems) recommended for maximum mission capability
