HISTORY OF GRL

Hello and welcome to our unique and special project, my name is Elia and let me tell you a bit about our revolutionary idea in FPV frame building....

My journey in FPV began about 5 years ago, since then I’ve been very excited in making my own FPV frame that would meet all of my following needs. I wanted to make a frame that would be extremely durable, but at the same time it had to be elegant and I also wanted the frame to fit any kind of electronics into it (since I got tired of ordering a new frame each time some kind of new revolutionary electronics hit the market). With these two thoughts in my head I began thinking of how exactly can I make such a frame, and immediately got to the thought that I won't be able to accomplish this on my own. So I gathered up a little team of equally passionate people, and we began our research.

We divided all the work into two main parts:

1)Making a strong, beautiful and light weighted frame

2)Making an easy in assembly and multi fit frame

After doing some research we got to a general thought that the most commonly breaking parts on FPV frames are its arms. So we got into researching all sorts of different composites, epoxies and processes. And finally after some time of our research we finally found the best materials and the best process for our purposes. The answer was molding.Thanks to this process we can now keep the standard arm dimensions but because of the effect that the molding has on carbon the ready product becomes a lot stronger.

After figuring out how to make our frame stronger we got to the second problem of many modern frames, which is its ability to fit different types of systems onto it. To solve this problem we found all the systems that are out there right now. After finishing our research we began designing our three main plates so that they could suit all the systems.

And now, finally, after these couple of years of hard work, we are ready to present our new frame for common use.

WHAT'S THE PLAN

Now our team has developed a couple of prototypes that resolve the problems that I have talked about earlier. We also have completed a couple of tests on our frame to see how durable it really is. To see some of the tests that we have done on our frame feel free to check out some of our videos:

SHOCK CONTENT - JUMPING on FPV drone - Is it alive?

IS IT IMMORTAL-crash test GRL

We also gave out samples of our frame to pilots so that they could give their opinions on it. And after getting so many warm replies from them we finally decided to try going out with our product to the world market.

ABOUT OUR TEAM

Our team consists of three people including me. It happens that the people that have supported and helped me in this project are the people that I have known for a while. Our story begins in a sport that is called aeromodelling. Before FPV drones we were very into flying control line planes in the class of F2C(which is a racing class). While competing we also have been creating our own models. They were known for their stiffness and their light weight. People that used our models took many prizes home, but unfortunately time passes and people's interest in this sport has also passed. That's when we found FPV drones for us, a new fun, cool and progressive hobby. We are very grateful to aeromodelling for giving us so much expertise in so many fields, because of all the knowledge that we have gathered from it we were able to create our frame. Now lets see who we are...

Hello my name is Elia I am 28 years young and I am responsible for modeling our frame and other add ons to it. I got all the needed experience for this at my work. I work for a UAV(Unmanned Air Vehicle) company in London, where I am the main design engineer. There I’ve met two guys that used to work for McLaren which told me a lot of little tips and tricks that are now used in our frame.

Hello, my name is Dima, I am 21 years young, and I am a CNC machinist. At the age of 19 I constructed and programmed my own CNC machine. Since then I was all into CNC(I mean it's just so cool). My skills came from a great number of codes that I had to write for different types of parts. Now I'm using all these skills to correctly process the carbon fibres and aluminum for our frames.

Hello, my name is Mykola, and I am the one who molds our super strong arms which make our frame the way it is. At the same time I am the supply chain manager, meaning that I am also the one who responsible for ordering materials and managing the stock.

Founder GRL

Gravity Loss FPV has been working in aeromodelling industry since 2015. Our knowledge and skills made it possible to create a new generation of carbon frames for you. Drones are a fast-growing industry in which there is always room for growth and innovation. Electronics and software always delight pilots with new features and updates. It’s time to please the world with new features in the structural design of one of the main elements of the drone - carbon frame.
