02 Overview

Longbow 7 Mk2 stretches the 4Quad architecture to 7-inch props on a 290 mm wheelbase. Its 20 mm channel-section arms keep the first bending mode clear of the control band and carry an individual ESC in each arm. Built for longer observation flights on the 4S 5000 mAh pack, it keeps the locked 16 × 16 mm motor interface and the 4Quad's Pi 5 + Hailo-8L perception stack.
