"Looks good.
I think the only concern I see right off the bat are the motor mounts. I am not sure if you designed them to break if you crash, They look weak (thin) and possibly weakened with the weight reducing cuts you made.
I guess lift efficiency…"
"Looks Good.
You shed a lot of weight on your plate design (thumbs up). maybe 3mm plates would have been better?

This should be a very lightweight heavy lift machine.
Hopefully stiffness is not sacrificed.
"One battery simply is not a good thing for my drone since I placed the GPS in the center (I designed it for 2 batteries anyway), Having 2 batteries means I have more options as to where to place them."
"That looks pretty sexy but you should be designing frames with those design skills not prop guards.
Looks like it weighs more then the frame.
Does it allow enough clean air or does the design degrade propeller efficiency?
it looks great but at what…"
"Yes Drones or any other dangerous thing needs to be a safe distance away from children.

Yes and No I could create prop…"

It is 70% complete and designed a bit differently then your typical Octocopter.
I really really like how this is one working out.
I will make a new Blog Post."
"Well Sadly until I buy a quality 8 folding arm brackets I am putting the project on hold.
Those Chinese Folding arm kit destroyed my flying machine. (3 propellers, 2 arms and landing gear destroyed)
I did manage a few 1 minute test flights but had…"
