In my last post, I mentioned that I was working on replacing the square aluminum arms with round carbon fiber ones. I am back to say that it works!
I was having a little trouble with the PDB, but I finally figured out how to get all of the cabling into the body without leaving cable spilling out everywhere.
Here she is sitting atop her regular landing gear. I just went out and made a few short test flights to check that everything was okay. Now, it might be my imagination, but I feel that the HEX is more stable with the increased arm length and maybe eve a little less noisy?
And now I am going to get to work on making this camera rig that just arrived fit.

Really Nice job Sean,
But I can't help noticing that the parts cost considerably more than buying an entire Talon V frame.
The motor mounts alone are listed at $10.00 each and the whole frame is only $80.00.
Looks like it would be a lot cheaper to just buy the frame and throw away the center plates.
