Franz Helmli replied to Franz Helmli's discussion tipps for my new carbon hexacopter"Hi
Where to you get those carbon tubes?
What are the dimensions?
By round carbon tubes are windet and not extruted, so they are really strong.
With best regards
Franz"
Mike M replied to Franz Helmli's discussion tipps for my new carbon hexacopter"I'm curious why you chose round tube instead of square? I'm designing one with square tubes alleviate any blocks around the tube for mounting motors and attaching to base of hexa. Seems like those blocks and associated hardware add a lot…"

Franz Helmli commented on Denny Rowland's blog post ROWLAND F1-535 nears production status"Hi
I have some questions!
What is the weight?
What is the diameter of the copter?
What is the diameter of the props?
Do you mean that a shorter motor is better for stability?
Do you mean a invers position of motor and props is better for…"
Franz Helmli replied to Franz Helmli's discussion UAVFrame or carbon Tube frame"very nice!
to you have detail fotos? how to you mount the motors on the tubes? or are they box shape carbon sticks?
For me the carbon tubes of the frame needs to be at least 15mm in diamter. So the question is if the uavFrame is worth the money?"
Franz Helmli replied to Franz Helmli's discussion UAVFrame or carbon Tube frame"you are right!
That the frame I am talking about! cool carbon part!"

Javio replied to Franz Helmli's discussion Carbon frame: size of tubes"Hi,
I really can´t give a real advice since I am currently studing the physical models and I still don´t have a drone... I think it will be great if you make the test for both 14 and 18mm. 14mm must be enough since the The weight is…"
Sérgio Domingos replied to Franz Helmli's discussion Carbon frame: size of tubes"Hi,
i have no experience in the stability testing with bigger diameter tube, I was just giving you an example on how much i saved in weight using CF,
