Hi, guys! Now I will drawing the motors and will correct the number of bolts on "+" mode, like Jani explained me. I had attached four bolts that aren't necessary, around the edge of the mounting plate for attaching the arms. :p

@Jhon: There are two official arm sizes:
1 - Small quad: 214mm long. Here the bird size with propellers is around 18" (~457mm);
2 - Big quad: 284mm long. Here the size reaches 24" (~610mm).
Of course you can construct your own arm design, with other planned sizes. That type of assembling is very versatile.

I've just built and (today) flown a custom quad that is 700mm between the motor centers, but the arms extend past the motors and act as safety outriggers past the motors .   single arm length is 580mm, total size from extremities is 1160mm ( it's a pretty big puppy, with 300mm long props )
