The Arduino/Arducopter is a notable project . Actually the ratio price/quality is very good.
But looking at the frame it is clear that some points can be improved: motor mounts, landing ski and GPS holder.
Working with a local company and using aluminum and laser technology we design and manufactured new parts for the Arducopter .
With this changes the new “silver Arducopter “ is more rigid, has a little bit less vibration and is more stable. The increase of weight is marginal.
And Last but not least the Arducopter became a real UFO.

Sure Ken
Plastic is easier to work
But we have state of art technology with premier cutting machine.
So aluminum is not a problem.
Price is what you mean in your comment.
Our tests show that we are very competitive. ( When we lok at market)
Ah...copyright.....disappointing Im sure for many here. Well, those pictures are just good enough to inspire some custom plans, it will just take a bit more time..
Thank you for all comments.
This is still a prototype and now we are carrying out field tests.
We are using aluminum sheet from 0,8 to 2 mm.
Regarding the motor mounts we do not have problems but will reinforce the landing skis and will do other changes. Crash tests are underway!
I can post the files but some, like motor mounts, are copy from DIYDrones. So they are already available.
Yes we plan to sell the parts! But our plan is to work as a vendor, or a supplier to a main company. That means not selling direct to the public.
We respect the copyrights and the projects. No plans to became pirates....!
Another point, important point, is the prices. We are doing our best to have good prices and it seems we are in the good way.
Nice frame, looks sturdy without being to heavy. Only thing I did not like was the long motor shafts with prop adapters at the end. I think they will bend to easy. I prefer the type of prop adapters that mount directly to the motor housing. Much stronger then a motor shaft. Most of the HobbyKing motors come with such adapters.
