"Nice work!
Did anyone but me like it better as an open frame? Then again it would have been less effective to judge orientation as a skeleton.
Now I wonder if anyone plans to adapt a bicycle helmet to a quad?"
Ellison Chan commented on Skyview Creative1's blog post Final ArduCopter Body Design"Nice design, but why tissue, and not monokote?"
Skyview Creative1 commented on Skyview Creative1's blog post Final ArduCopter Body Design"The balsa wood frame is covered with about three layers of tissue paper. There is a thin coat of wood filler sanded down smooth then a couple of coats of primer. Then the finished paint. The tissue paper is the same kind of tissue paper used for…"

Skyview Creative1 commented on Skyview Creative1's blog post Hand Made Body Project for AruduCopter 3DR-B"Well, when I was putting on the tissue paper I had to put on at least 3 layers to make it strong enough. Still, 3 layers of tissue paper is still pretty thin. Also, I didn't get it as smooth as I was hoping. It had a bit of a "paper…"
Skyview Creative1 commented on Skyview Creative1's blog post Hand Made Body Project for AruduCopter 3DR-B"well, the monocoat didn't work out. Its too round and the coating got a bit tricky. So, I went old school and did the tissue paper coating method. Its a bit more work but I think its going to get the look I want. I will put up some pics when I…"

It makes it nice because I can cut up to 10 pieces in one cut. Thats nice when there is more than one piece that is the same size but most of the pieces are…"
