Also very interested in this.  Or if someone could at lest post basic measurements... so those of us on a very tight budget could make a crude reproduction :)

I would also like the CAD file. 

A CAD file of the Bixler fus would be most useful... That would really be cool.

Anybody?

You are welcome  to my files for the chassis - see this post

There are two formats - one is a pdf file (suitable for laser cutting), the other is in Autocad dwg format (they're the same design).

I made mine from 3/32 ply so all the slots etc are gauged  for this material.

Hope you can use them.

I've just remembered, I slightly modified the original design to make positioning of the servo cables easier and to aid insertion of the chassis into the fuselage.

Only minor mods but the revised files are here:

Thanks a lot Simon!

I just got one of these in from the store only to find the holes for USB and Reset Button don't line up with the APM2 board.  So your files may come in very handy.

@Simon

How do you measure bixler's dimension such as round shape of fuselage?

Is there any tip for it?
