The two initial orders of 100 Shrike frames disappeared and the team knew they were onto something good. Serendipitously a partnership with AP was formed. The demands of racing weighed on the team and they had to step back from frames for a bit. The first two batches sold quickly and were all packaged by Zach, by hand, at home. he quickly realized he would need support. ![]() Starting with a basic CNC machine in his home. The Shrike 185 model was built after a few failures and word started to spread. Zach first designed the Shrike for himself. Zach has been designing things his whole life. Zach is one of the only guys designing new tech for the industry and competing with it at the highest levels. These days it seems like everybody has a frame design they think will win. From Colorado to Dubai to Mexico and all across the United States Jordan and Zach compete prolifically with astonishingly successful results. They are both professional FPV racers, traveling all the time. They also happen to be two of the best pilots in the world. These roommates and business partners are the creative force that brought the award winning Shrike concept to market. X-LABS : X-Labs is Zach and Jordan, the Shrike Dudes.

Talk about putting your money where your mouth is. The founder and original designer himself, Zachary, is one of the best pilots in the wor ld today. They are innovators who contribute hugely to the community and the growing sport of FPV competitions. Thank you so much, Jason."To be quite frank, it is more than a pleasure to have the opportunity to collaborate with the Shrike dudes. Where to from here? Well, rest assured we have not taken our thinking caps off just yet. The longest hiatus in new releases since the inception of Armattan, in fact. This is part of the reason it took so long between the Chameleon release and a new flagship release. I remember asking the guys we work with "where to from here?" as I felt rather overwhelmed trying to make something even better than the Chameleon. When we released the Chameleon, I felt that it would be really hard to top that. Stronger materials, improved design and better provisions coupled with the ability to swap arms with ease. The Armattan Rooster takes the Chameleon concept to a completely new level. All of them with their own merits and downsides. The lower CG and the cage style protection for the FPV camera in a frontal impact has now been replicated in several similar applications in design. The Armattan Chameleon release back in December 2016 served as inspiration to many frame designers over the last year. ![]() This design is real and those of you who get to hold the Armattan Rooster in your hands, will understand just how tangible real innovation feels… Hype is made up fairy tales and false promises. This model represents years of trials, errors, refinements and, above all, passion. No publicity, no flight footage, and no pictures can truly give justice to what we have done here. No promotion, no puff, no fluff, no stunts can be performed to exaggerate how extremely well thought out this design is. To hype something is to promote or publicize (a product or idea) intensively, often exaggerating its benefits. Hype is defined as extravagant or intensive publicity or promotion. ![]()
