As I said above, the build videos are thorough, as is the documentation provided by the manufacturer detailing recommended running gear, set up, and general tips. I want to make it clear as we dive into this review that the Alien is a frame and all of the components I selected to complete the build are those recommended by Impulse RC. Other standout features of the frame itself include the meticulously-thought-out geometry and weight distribution as well as the proven strength of the platform. It’s been an incomparable customer service experience. They were always quick to answer my inquiries via email and provide me with any and all support I needed when diving into the build. Wanting to make sure I assembled and set up the frame based on their recommendations for this review, we corresponded quite a bit. I cannot stress enough how much these guys stand behind their products.

Impulse RC offers a comprehensive series of build videos for their products, resulting in an unparalleled assembly experience. Chief among them: Support from the manufacturer. This frame stands out for a host of other reasons as well.
Having won multiple titles (read: ALL OF THEM) at last year’s Drone Nationals, I knew this frame was going to be a blast to fly. You’ve all heard me speak about the current popularity of the X-Frames and its safe to say that it really got going with the release of the 5″ Alien frame from Australian company Impulse RC. Long story short, in the year that passed, a lot of established design philosophy had changed. 1 year might as well be 10 when speaking in terms of quadcopter technology and the rate at which it advances. When I set out to build my first high-end FPV racing/freestyle quadcopter, and I mean REALLY build it from the ground up, I began by researching the topic for nearly a year before pulling the trigger on any gear. As FPV racing and drones in general explode in popularity, there are new products hitting the market every second. If you do a quick Google search for “FPV racing drone”, you will almost certainly be instantly overwhelmed with potential choices.
