Jon - keep the posts coming, looks like you are doing a great job there !

"Fascinating, I have lots to learn !

"Hi Jon,
Thanks for that, good idea.
I did consider going for an H but thought, from reading here, that the frame would be more rigid with an X. The X would also allow a non structural isolated EP so helping with the gimbal vibrations.
In reality I…"

"Interesting points to consider, part drilling the motor mast is a great idea, that would halve the weight without sacrificing any strength"
"Indeed, I was planning to bond the rails, but your previous post led me to that suggestion. Although I immediately see in my design that the mounting points will be possibly too close to the centre of the rails for the length of the rails. - as you…"
"Regarding engine mounts:
Frantz, I take your point about the boom blocks and nylon screws adding excessive weight.
The larger motorsseem to generally be mounted directly onto the mounting plates rather than with the extra metal X bracket used on the…"

"Great thread.
@Jon - How is your quad coming along ? I'm planning on something similar, I want to make something as small and light as I can to carry a Ricoh GR and tilt servo gimbal of about 450g weight.
Here is a European link honeycomb elecronics…"
