Ghost 2: the documented specification
Weight, arm thickness, hardware and geometry for the second Ghost, the only version in the line whose full spec sheet survives in the Wayback captures.
The Ghost 2 was Mode 2 FPV's second version of the Ghost, the frame that opened the company's racing line (see the Ghost archive page for the original and the later third revision). Mode 2 FPV was a US frame maker run by Brian Welch, active roughly from 2013 to 2020 under the Thingiverse handle mode2fpv. Unlike the original Ghost, a Wayback capture of the Ghost 2's own shop page survives with a full specification list, and that is what this page documents.

The shop page gave the 65 g / 75 g pair separately from the per-size table above. It does not state explicitly which size that pair refers to, though 65 g matches the 5-inch row, so it most likely describes that size with and without stack hardware fitted. That reading is not confirmed by the capture itself, so treat it as a probable match rather than a documented one.
Where the Ghost 2 sits in the line
Mode 2 FPV's own copy described the original Ghost as "the frame that revolutionized FPV racing, and inspired heavily by the original Hyperlite Floss." No equivalent sentence for the Ghost 2 survives in the captures we have, only its specification sheet. The company later replaced it with a third version it called "redesigned from the ground up … our final answer to the Ghost line." Both quotations, and what little else is documented about the first and third versions, are on the Ghost archive page.
Where the design files are
Like the rest of the range, the Ghost 2 was released under the GNU GPL v3, with source files on GitHub and Thingiverse. The GitHub repository has not been located and this page does not link to a constructed URL. The Thingiverse profile is live: thingiverse.com/mode2fpv/designs.
What this page cannot say
We do not know when the Ghost 2 was released, how many were made, what it cost, or why Mode 2 FPV eventually stopped operating. The specification sheet above is everything the archive gives us; anything about build quality, flight characteristics or durability would have to come from a builder who owned one, not from this page.
