After creating the Arduspyder. We decided to create a real hexa. These are pictures of the making, maiden will be this weekend. Because of the purpose this frame is build for we sadly did not opt for an Arducopter but the frame will take an Ardu, Openpilot CC, Microkopter or any other hexa capable electronics.

Comments
I suggest nylon wire instead of metal
Nice work with the router. Wire damper is good but it looks a little heavy.
@ Robert: Dampers are ok, but it is more easy to cut a wire than to add a wire.
@ Azhar: I grant you the right to make some look alike plugs. As long as you don't call it Flexacopter :)
Been thinking about such 'easy on-off' plug.. came up with some design. But yours just throw all mine away. Nicely done :-)
Can I copy it for my project? :p
This looks impressively professional.
Awesome, love the details and build quality, your idea for the connectors in the arms is excellent, great work :)
Cheers!
Wow. Just wow. Nice work.
I think your wire dampers might be a bit too stiff however.
Excellent! Lots of innovative design ideas in this.
Beautiful work. It's really nice attention to detail in all the fixtures and mountings.
