Wow!!! I like the frame except it seems the arms would cause a lot of thrust blockage being so wide. Maybe better to put a little cone or curved thing on top to be more aerodynamic. I think those links are just what I was looking for. Thanks!!

These look good but seem too thin.

I'm thinking I need something about 1mm thick. What did you use for that center triangle plate on yours? Is that carbon fiber?
