that's cool Kendall. What pitch vs roll tuning changes did you make when setting up?  I FPV'd my hoverthings FPV frame today in 20-30km/h winds and it flew pretty well. My tail seems to wag back and forth a bit though (kind of like a flying wing).

Where do you cut the GFK?

[dacat]

in germany... it´s a dude that has a CNC mashine (no company)

the OP shop in Portugal offers CNC-work too ... might be cheaper for shipping...

if you like i can ask the guy who did that for me and send you his email....

Looks cool! Seeing a lot of frames that remind me of Felias' Quadrixette design. I remember reading about the first Chinese copy of his FPV frame in a German forum and some others following after that (including the 005 FPV Zombie quad).

Interesting to see his design concept being used by all these companies

Yeah.. i guess the video from william in cameroon and his hexa spider layout inspired lot of people...

i always liked the spider hex from flyduino and asked them to do a spider quad with power board inside like the warthox frame...
they never replyed ... guess they are bussy with other stuff

so i thought i´ll draw my own for props up to 11"

10x10 alu in germany is very common... didn't know that is quite hard to get elsewhere

but maybe works for you too in canada

[David J]

Common in the UK too...

well, you know where to get the original for a fair price
Although everyone of course can create their own adaption for personal use.
