so i have finish cutting and eposxyng the other arm frame i was thinking on adding some litle screws to better secure the t holders to the rods but i notice that the t connectors after epoxy got hot so i pretty sure that the bond is secure and i will not put the bolts there is still to come the power board to start soldering the esc for that i will only use one connection using 3.5 mm bullets all the rest will be solder best regards to all
maybe someone could give me a tip i was thinking instead of putting the retracting landing gear change the motors and put some 5010 motors with carbon fiber 3 hole propellers 12 or 14 inchs size ?
