    Fly time with 2 go-pros FPV system and two 4C-4000 batteries 8 mins not just hovering
    Alum. No problem RF
    And yes a lot of over kill but it flys great.

    Bit erector set, 

    The aluminum does not cause problems with the RF?

    ... but high rise buildings aren't meant to fly :) 

    Looks quite overbuilt. Could stand to lose some weight, just from a quick glance.

    What is the weight of the frame alone? One thought would be to make the top plate solid. This would help with rfi/emi and signal strength for gps receivers. Marketing side I would emphasize why this is better than all the other carbon fiber frame out there. Since there are so many out there perhaps a larger frame and octo for redundancy.

    Frame is only 6 Lbs.
    Because it is designed to carry loads. Camera systems multiple battery packs ‎Etc.
    Even the screws in each arms are a 8/32 " and that is 4 per arm with nylon lock nuts that is probably 1 Lbs right there. But they are there for payload points and overall strength.
    We can make it lighter and have look like so many others made from carbon fiber Mcdonald straws.....nice.  
    You look at high rise buildings under the skin it looks the our Heli. And that is for the strength overall. With our weight we can still stay in the air for 8-10 mins with two 5000 four cell battery's
    Thanks for your input
