After beta testing in early 2011 I had some bad crashes and my concept of precise machined and glued carbon did not pay off. It was almost impossible to replace broken parts. This made me think of a different concept.

All parts easy replacable.

Stiff construction.

Ok, it took me a while but now the parts are ready for assembly.
