I found a material that is light as wood and strong as carbon fiber to make these drone designs out of. The CNC is lined up to cut these out. These will come with custom aluminum studs with brass knurled inserts that accept a 3mm screw. The lead out time for the production is 3 weeks before I can get the first run cut and shipped out. Plan to sell these as kits for $60.00. The weight with all the hardware attached will be 500 grams. This will fall into the 430mm class. This kit will include directions on how to assemble and dissemble it, recommended hardware and equipment, along with beginning PI settings. If someone wants a kit already built contact me for more information. I may sell complete RTF kits if there is an interest.
Now we can have drones that are beautiful, appealing to the eye, and with the strength of carbon fiber. These drones are neat in design and simple to fold up. The handle will provide a secure method to carry it, and at the same time protect the FC. The speed controllers are neatly packed away. The entire drone can be dissembled and assembled to add new components. There is room to add FPV and other accessories.
Fly something you can be proud of and easy to learn on without worrying about breaking parts in a crash or mistake made by the pilot.
Kitting these will mean there will always be parts available. The plan is to sell just motor mounts as packs because of the strength of this material.
