In the quest for ground clearance and light weight legs I think I found a great product.
These landing gear are usually made for 90 grade F3A Airplane but they fit very well on the 3DR frame.
Super sturdy, made of Carbon fiber and shaped to absorb some impact (they are very stiff) they work great and will not add a lot more weight. I first saw something similar on the uDrones products but they were straight and looked a bit thin.
I always try to bring you guys the best products and I sure know I got a lot of request for longer, stronger legs. Well here they are and as a bonus I find them pretty sexy! hehe
As usual, let me know what you think? keeper product or not?

Real clearance under the center plate is more 17cm (around 6 1/2 inches)
This is a really sexy 3DR Hexa! Oh and the props are 11X4.7 real Carbon Fiber too, this is stiff and price went down recently so really happy to offer them now!
With 2.7.3 out there is no excuses to not fly!!

Nice looking props. Any other sizes on the way? I'm looking for something like 13" for my Octo.
Would the 2830-850 motors turn those 11" props?

@Robert, these are 880kv, not the 850kv... they work great for 11X4.7 I dont think the 850kv will like the 13 inches... I used to run 12" on the 880kv without a sweat. Should be fine with 880kv.
I am not getting yet other sizes but I can... I first need to sell these! hehe
