BlackbirdFPV Echo Pro: The Next Evolution in Freestyle Frames

For over a decade, ImpulseRC has set the gold standard for freestyle frames. From the seminal Alien to the iconic Apex, we have continuously refined and perfected what it means to fly at the highest level. The Echo is the next step in that legacy—a frame engineered for top-tier pilots who demand best-in-class handling, extreme durability, and uncompromising precision.

Designed for the Best, Built for Everyone

With a motor-to-motor distance of just 210mm, the Echo is one of the most compact 5” freestyle frames ever created. This ultra-tight geometry delivers unmatched agility and responsiveness, making it the ultimate choice for Juicy, SBang, and modern freestyle pilots. Yet, despite its high-performance pedigree, the Echo is also the perfect entry point for new pilots—offering industry-leading durability and an unbeatable warranty at the lowest launch price of any ImpulseRC frame.

Stronger, Stiffer, Better

After three years of meticulous development, every aspect of the Echo’s design has been refined to maximize strength and stiffness without adding unnecessary weight. While we continue to use the high-quality carbon fiber ImpulseRC is known for, the Echo’s durability comes from experience-driven refinements in structure, tolerances, and preloading. The result is our strongest frame yet—built to withstand the hardest hits while maintaining precise flight characteristics.

And if you do break it? No worries. Like all our frames, the Echo is backed by our industry-leading, no-questions-asked, two-year warranty—including crash damage. Unlike many brands that disappear or stop supporting older models, we still stock parts for our very first frame designed over a decade ago. When you buy an ImpulseRC frame, you’re investing in long-term quality and support.

Two Models, One Legacy

The Echo is available in two configurations:

• Echo (Base Model) – Everything you need to build a high-performance freestyle rig at the lowest possible cost while still enjoying the full benefits of ImpulseRC’s warranty and legendary durability.
• BlackbirdFPV Echo Pro – Developed to meet the highest standards of modern freestyle, the Pro model includes gold stainless steel hardware, cone washers and shoulder bolts for slop-free arm attachment, TPU GoPro and antenna mounts, and more. These aren’t just cosmetic upgrades—the improved hardware increases frame stiffness and clamping force for next-level flight precision.

Future-Proof Camera Support

The Echo launches with the same wide camera compatibility as the Apex, ensuring seamless integration with existing builds. In the coming weeks, a simple $5 add-on kit will enable DJI O4 support, which will be standard in future production runs. (Thanks, DJI, for the last-minute surprise!)

ImpulseRC: A Decade of Freestyle Innovation

Freestyle frame trends come and go, but ImpulseRC continues to define what’s possible. In 10 years, we’ve only released three dedicated freestyle frames—each one an industry milestone. The Echo is no exception. This is more than just another frame release—it’s the next chapter in our legacy of innovation, performance, and support.

The choice is simple: fly the original, or settle for a copy.
