    Hi Chris

     

    Nice to see a lot of fellow South Africans on the site ! I recently build my first own quad as well. Way better than buying the complete kit. Your design looks pretty awesome and quite practical. One thing that is very difficult to do is keep your weight down. I used 12mm square aluminium tubing for my arms and laser cut the rest of the frame from diabond. I am looking at ways to reduce weight. How does G10 compare weight vs strength ?. Diabond is quite light but not as strong as solid aluminium. My total weight including one 2200mA battery is 1.1kg and I can only get about 10 min flying time. Where are you buying the rest of your parts ?

    G10, can make up plates for you,( will be doing some for my own design) cutting is "fun" though, diamond tools do the job properly, send me a PM if need be
